Influence of damage degree of recycled coarse aggregate concrete-filled steel tube columns strengthened with envelope steel jacket under seismic load

Abstract

In order to discuss the influence of damage degree of recycled coarse aggregate concrete-filled steel tube columns strengthened with envelope steel jacket (ESJ) under seismic load, eight columns were designed and manufactured to simulate seismic loading, with the design of ESJ strengthening after pre-damage and destruct tests under seismic load. This experiment was conducive to accurately evaluating the influence mechanism and synergistic effect of seismic damage degree and recycled coarse aggregate on the hysteresis curve, skeleton curve, ductility performance, energy dissipation performance, and bearing capacity performance of each specimens, and a suitable seismic damage model was proposed. The ductility coefficient is from 3.36 and 4.64, satisfying the requirements of seismic design. The research results indicate that the degree of seismic damage and recycled coarse aggregate are unfavorable to improve the seismic performance of recycled coarse aggregate concrete-filled steel tube columns strengthened with ESJ under seismic load; Taking the ductility coefficient of specimen SEJS-0 as the basic data, specimens SEJS-1 to SEJS-3 and FC-0 to FC-3 increased by 22.02%, 20.24%, 8.33%, 18.15%, 38.10%, 35.71%, and 23.51%, respectively. Under moderate and severe damage, the ductility performance of enveloped steel jacket-strengthened seismic-damaged specimens decreased by 15.47% and 15.18%, respectively, and the reduction amplitude of both was similar. As the degree of seismic damage increases, the value of the ultimate bearing capacity first decreases and then increases. The method of using recycled coarse aggregate to replace half of natural coarse aggregate has certain feasibility in the field of concrete-filled steel tube columns. Recycled coarse aggregate has a significant impact on the bearing capacity of each stage, while the degree of seismic damage only has a greater impact on the ultimate stage. The established seismic damage model for recycled coarse aggregate concrete-filled steel tube columns strengthened with ESJ under seismic load is feasible and can be used for quantitative evaluation of the seismic capacity of such components.
