Experimental and analytical investigation of composite columns made of high strength steel and high strength concrete

Binglin Lai,J.Y. Richard Liew,Mingxiang Xiong 국제구조공학회 2019 Steel and Composite Structures, An International J Vol.33 No.1

Composite columns made of high strength materials have been used in high-rise construction owing to its excellent structural performance resulting in smaller cross-sectional sizes. However, due to the limited understanding of its structural response, current design codes do not allow the use of high strength materials beyond a certain strength limit. This paper reports additional test data, analytical and numerical studies leading to a new design method to predict the ultimate resistance of composite columns made of high strength steel and high strength concrete. Based on previous study on high strength concrete filled steel tubular members and ongoing work on high strength concrete encased steel columns, this paper provides new findings and presents the feasibility of using high strength steel and high strength concrete for general double symmetric composite columns. A nonlinear finite element model has been developed to capture the composite beam-column behavior. The Eurocode 4 approach of designing composite columns is examined by comparing the test data with results obtained from code's predictions and finite element analysis, from which the validities of the concrete confinement effect and plastic design method are discussed. Eurocode 4 method is found to overestimate the resistance of concrete encased composite columns when ultra-high strength steel is used. Finally, a strain compatibility method is proposed as a modification of existing Eurocode 4 method to give reasonable prediction of the ultimate strength of concrete encased beam-columns with steel strength up to 900 MPa and concrete strength up to 100 MPa.

Recently Ultra high strength concrete is actively being developed and studied, and this trend is explained with the following effects. Technological effects expected from the application of Ultra high strength concrete include the reduction of section, the decrease of structure mass and the improvement of workability. As for the reduction of section, the use of Ultra high strength concrete is effective for plane and height, and the effect is even higher when it is applied to high-rise buildings. The decrease of concrete mass resulting from high strength is advantageous for earthquake resistance, reduces the use of earthquake-resistant members, and brings resource substitution effects. In addition, forms can be removed early thanks to self-fillability and early expression of strength resulting from the high fluidity, and this increases construction efficiency and shortens construction period. Recently there is increasing interest and investment in high-rise buildings throughout the world, and countries are competing for higher buildings in order to display national status and technological power through high-rise buildings. In addition, the use of concrete materials in steel-frame building is increasing as residential buildings are growing higher. Currently the application of Ultra high strength concrete is limited to high-rise buildings and protective buildings for special purposes. However, its application is expected to expand to attain the effects of Ultra high strength concrete. For this purpose, we tested the field applicability of Ultra high strength concrete using simulated members. Mixture ratios derived from basic experiment were tested using reduced simulated members. Using the obtained results, the decrease of hydration heat and the increase of compression strength were compared and the optimal mixture ratio was selected. Concrete of the selected mixture ratio was produced at a ready-mixed concrete factory and placed at a construction site using a pump car. Through the experiment on field applicability, we presented basic materials on the construction-related and mechanical characteristics of Ultra high strength concrete.

Transition Analysis of Friction Factor According to Pumping Pressure in Pumping Test Using High Strength Concrete for High-rise Buildings

Kwon, Hae-Won,Kim, Young-Su The Korean Institute of Building Construction 2013 한국건축시공학회지 Vol.13 No.4

In high-rise buildings, high-strength concrete is widely used to reduce the section of structure members under axial load. Also, the price increase of materials is very important item in the high-rise buildings. Especially, concrete used high-pressure pump due to consecutive structural assembly. Unlike slump type of ordinary concrete, high strength concrete has different properties of concrete pumping due to viscosity. However, there have been no Korean studies on the pumping properties of high strength concrete. Therefore, this paper measures the friction factor of high strength concrete with changes in the pressure of concrete pumping. We analyzed the trends of the friction factor based on changes in the pressure of concrete pumping, and then calculated the quantity of concrete deposited for each specified concrete strength and location of placement. After comparing these results with the quantity of concrete deposited measured in field, we evaluated the pumping properties of high strength concrete. Through the tests and the review, we attempt to suggest some basic information for the In-Situ application of high strength concrete.

정영수,배수호,박종협 한국콘크리트학회 1996 콘크리트학회지 Vol.8 No.3

국내 건설경기의 비약적인 신장으로 인한 하천사의 고갈로 해사의 사용이 매년 급증하고 있는 추세이다. 시방서 조건을 만족시키지 않는 무분별한 해사의 사용은 저품질 콘크리트의 시공으로 이어져, 이는 곧바로 구조물의 내구성에 치명적인 영향을 끼쳐 사회적으로 엄청난 슬픔과 재난을 몰고 올 대규모 참사를 야기시킬 수도 있다는 점에서 해사를 사용한 콘크리트에 대한 물리적 특성의 규명이 시급한 실정이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 해사를 이용한 고강도 콘크리트를 개발하기 위한 실험적 연구로서 양질의 하천사를이용한 고강도 콘크리트와 해사를 이용한 고강도 콘크리트의 물리적 특성을 서로 비교.분석하여 해사를 이용한 고강도 콘크리트를 실제의 콘크리트 공사에 적극적으로 활용하는데 그 목적이 있다. 해사를 이용한 고강도 콘크리트의 실험적 규명은 고강도 콘크리트의 구조물 설계시 중요한 설계자료로 이용될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 콘크리트용 혼화재로서 실리카흄의 사용유무에 따라 최대압축강도를 발현시키는 물-시멘트비(불-결합재비)의 한계값을 결정하고, 정탄성계수의 실험으로 현행 콘크리트 표준시방서의 탄성계수 계산식의 적용범위를 제시한 후, 압축강도 $330~800kgf/cm^2$인 고강도 콘크리트의 탄성계수와 할렬인장강도 및 휨인장강도를 예측할 수 있는 제안식을 도출해 냈다. Recent construction activity of infrastructures has been booming and accelerating to incur shortage of river sand for concrete works. Thus, sea sand has been excessively used instead of river sa.nd, that directly causes to decrease the quality and the durability of concrete, and then might lead to the collapse of concrete structures. The purpose of this experimental research is not only to develop high-strength concrete using sea sand, but also to investigate mechanical properties of high-strength concrete, such as elastic moduli, compressive strength and etc, which could be used for important design data of concrete structures. Rational analytic formula for elastic moduli have been proposed together with those for the splitting tensile strength and the flexural strength, which are to be predicted from compressive strength of concrete cylinder. Optimum water-cement and water-binder ratio have been experimentally obtained so as to develop high compressive strength with and without using silica fume as a admixture for concrete. It is noted that experimental elastic moduli for high strength concrete above aCk=330kgf /cm2 are less than those by the Code. Appropriate amount of concrete mixture has been experimentally investigated so as to develop maximum compressive, flexural and splitting tensile strength.

Recently, the interest and demand for large-scale buildings and skyscrapers have been on the rise, and the performance of concrete is an area of high priority. Securing 'mass concrete and high strength concrete' is very important as a key construction technology. For high strength concrete, the high heat of hydration takes place inside the concrete because of the vitality of hydration in cement due to the large amount of powder, and leads to problems such as an increase of thermal stress due to the temperature difference with the outside, which results in cracks and slump loss. For this reason,measures to solve these problems are needed. This study aims to reduce the hydration heat of high strength concrete to control the hydration heat of mass concrete and high strength concrete, by replacing the type of admixture, The purpose of this study is to control the hydration heat of high strength concrete and mass concrete. Our idea for this purpose is to apply not only the types and contents of admixture but also incorporation mixing water to ice-flake. As a result of the test, the use of blast furnace slag and fly ash as admixture, and the use of ice-flake as mixing water can improve the liquidity of concrete and reduce slump loss. Significantly dropping the maximum temperature will contribute greatly to reducing cracks due to hydration heat in mass concrete and high strength concrete, and improve quality. 최근 국내에서는 대형 및 초고층화 건축물에 대한 관심과수요가 증가하고 있는 추세와 함께 콘크리트의 성능이 중요시 되고 있다. 이를 뒷받침하는 기술로 매스콘크리트 및 고강도 콘크리트 시공기술의 확보는 대단히 중요하다. 고강도콘크리트의 경우 다량의 분체량에 따른 시멘트의 수화반응(hydration) 활성으로 콘크리트 내부에 높은 온도의 수화열이 발생하고 외부와 온도차로 인한 열응력의 증가 및 그로인한 균열, 슬럼프 로스현상 등의 문제점들이 많이 발생하고 있어 대책이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 매스콘크리트 및 고강도 콘크리트의 수화열을 제어하기 위하여 혼화재의 종류와 혼입량의 변화, 배합수를 Ice-flake로 100% 대체함으로써 고강도 콘크리트의 수화열을 저감하고자 하였으며, 실험결과 콘크리트의 수화열 저감 방안으로 혼화재는 고로슬래그와 플라이 애쉬를사용하고 배합수로 Ice-flake를 사용함으로써 콘크리트의유동성개선 및 슬럼프로스 저감효과를 볼 수 있으며, 콘크리트 최고 온도를 크게 떨어트려 매스 콘크리트 및 고강도콘크리트의 수화열에 의한 균열저감 및 품질향상에 크게 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

이승한 한국콘크리트학회 1995 콘크리트학회지 Vol.7 No.2

본 연구는 증기양생을 실시하는공장제품을 대상으로 석고계 고강도콘크리트용 혼화재를 사용하여 콘크리트를 고강도화하는데 그 목적이 있다. 목표 슬럼프는 원심력 성형제품을 대상으로 슬럼프 $6{\pm}1cm$가 되도록 고성능감수제로 조절하였으며, 아울러 양생방법에 다른 고강도콘크리트용 혼화재를 사용한 콘크리트의 강도발현 특성을 검토하고자 증기 및 수중양생을 실시 비교하였다. 실험결로부터 고강도 콘크리트용 혼화재는 증기양생이 효과적이며 압축강도 발현은 단위결합재량 $530{\sim}600kg/m^3$의 조건에서 10%치환으로 무치환에 비하여 1.3배 증가된 $650kgf/cm^2$ 이상, 15-30% 치환시 1.4-1.5배 증가된 $700kgf/cm^2$이상을 얻었다. 따라서 고강도콘크리트용 혼화재는 증기양생시의 고강도콘크리트 제조에 효과적으로, 시멘트2차제품 제조에 오오토클레브 양생을 하지 않고 증기양생만으로 고강도콘크리트를 얻을 수 있는 유효한 혼화재임을 나타냈다. This study was performed to get high strength of the precase concrete adopting a steam curing by using a gypsum-admixture for the high strength concrete. The superplasticizer was used to compensate low slump of base concrete keeping its slump up about $6{\pm}1cm$. To examine the property for strength revelation of concrete using admixtures for a high strength concrete, steam and standard curing were compared each other. Test results were shown that admixtures for high strength concrete were more effective in steam curing than standard curing. On the condition that the unit cement content is about $530{\sim}600kg/m^3$, the compressive strength of concrete replacing by 10% of the admixture was obtained over $65Okgf/cm^2$, which was increased as 1.3 times as that for the nonreplacement. When the admixture was replaced to 15-30%, the compressive strengh was obtained over $700kgf/cm^2$ which was increased as 1.4 - 1.5 times. Therefore, the admixture for high strength concrete, being effective in steam curing, was more efficient to get a high strength concrete using only steam curing instead of an autoclave curing for the secondary products of cement.

유정한,Kyung-Soo Chung,Jin-Ho Kim 국제구조공학회 2013 Steel and Composite Structures, An International J Vol.14 No.2

The concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) columns have several benefits of high load-bearing capacity, inherent ductility and toughness because of the confinement effect of the steel tube on concrete and the restraining effect of the concrete on local buckling of steel tube. However, the experimental research into the behavior of square CFT columns consisting of high-strength steel and high-strength concrete is limited. Six full scale CFT specimens were tested under flexural moment. The CFT columns consisted of high-strength steel tubes (fy = 325 MPa, 555 MPa, 900 MPa) and high-strength concrete (fck = 80 MPa and 120 MPa). The ultimate capacity of high strength square CFT columns was compared with AISC-LRFD design code. Also,this study was focused on investigating the effect of high-strength materials on the structural behavior and the mathematical models of the steel tube and concrete. Nonlinear fiber element analyses were conducted based on the material model considering the cyclic bending behavior of high-strength CFT members. The results obtained from the numerical analyses were compared with the experimental results. It was found that the numerical analysis results agree well with the experimental results.

High-strength shielding concrete against gamma radiation is a priority for many medical and industrial facilities. This paper aimed to investigate the gamma-ray shielding properties of high-strength hematite concrete mixed with silica fume (SF) with nanoparticles of lead dioxide (PbO2), tungsten oxide (WO3), and bismuth oxide (Bi2O3). The effect of mixing steel fibres with the aforementioned binders was also investigated. The reference mixture was prepared for high-strength concrete (HSCC) containing 100% hematite coarse and fine aggregate. Thirteen mixtures containing 5% SF and nanoparticles of PbO2, WO3, and Bi2O3 (2%, 5%, and 7% of the cement mass, respectively) were prepared. Steel fibres were added at a volume ratio of 0.28% of the volume of concrete with 5% of nanoparticles. The slump test was conducted to workability of fresh concrete Unit weight water permeability, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity tests were conducted to assess concrete’s engineering properties at 28 days. Gamma-ray radiation of 137Cs emits photons with an energy of 662 keV, and that of 60Co emits two photons with energies of 1173 and 1332 keV were applied on concrete specimens to assess radiation shielding properties. Nanoparticles partially replacing cement reduced slump in workability of fresh concrete. The compressive strength of mixtures, including nanoparticles was shown to be greater, achieving 94.5 MPa for the mixture consisting of 7.5 PbO2. In contrast, the mixture (5PbO2-F) containing steel fibres achieved the highest values for splitting tensile, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity (11.71, 15.97, and 42,840 MPa, respectively). High-strength shielded concrete (7.5PbO2) showed the best radiation protection. It also showed the minimum concrete thickness required to prevent the transmission of radiation.

Liew, J.Y. Richard,Xiong, M.X.,Xiong, D.X. Council on Tall Building and Urban Habitat Korea 2014 International journal of high-rise buildings Vol.3 No.3

Ultra-high strength concrete and high tensile steel are becoming very attractive materials for high-rise buildings because of the need to reduce member size and structural self-weight. However, limited test data and design guidelines are available to support the applications of high strength materials for building constructions. This paper presents significant findings from comprehensive experimental investigations on the behaviour of tubular columns in-filled with ultra-high strength concrete at ambient and elevated temperatures. A series of tests was conducted to investigate the basic mechanical properties of the high strength materials, and structural behaviour of stub columns under concentric compression, beams under moment and slender beam-columns under concentric and eccentric compression. High tensile steel with yield strength up to 780 MPa and ultra-high strength concrete with compressive cylinder strength up to 180 MPa were used to construct the test specimens. The test results were compared with the predictions using a modified Eurocode 4 approach. In addition, more than 2000 test data samples collected from literature on concrete filled steel tubes with normal and high strength materials were also analysed to formulate the design guide for implementation in practice.
