Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of architectural design, and more specifically, to a method for determining the flexural bearing capacity of a steel shell-UHPC composite beam that takes into account the effect of a partition. Background Technology

[0002] Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is widely used due to its advantages such as ultra-high strength, high durability, high crack resistance, and self-leveling properties. Steel-shell-concrete composite structures, by replacing ordinary concrete with UHPC, can improve load-bearing capacity and impact resistance. The internal structure of the steel-shell-UHPC composite uses longitudinally and transversely arranged steel partitions to divide the steel shell into compartments, effectively constraining the deformation of the external steel plate during the UHPC pouring stage, improving the stability of the steel shell, and facilitating construction. Simultaneously, the external steel plate of the steel-shell-UHPC composite structure can fully utilize its material properties, sharing bending stress with the UHPC. Furthermore, the steel-shell-UHPC composite structure uses modified clothoid MCL-shaped combination pins, eliminating the flanges of the steel connectors and openings in the web to allow the combination pins to embed into the UHPC and share the load, not only connecting the UHPC to the external steel plate but also increasing the rigidity of the external steel plate.

[0003] Currently, there is a lack of mechanical performance analysis methods for steel shell-UHPC composite beams with longitudinal / transverse diaphragms. The influence of the arrangement of longitudinal and transverse diaphragms on their bending bearing capacity is not considered, and corresponding calculation methods are lacking, which seriously affects the design, construction, and use of steel shell-UHPC composite structures.

[0054] The following describes in further detail the features and performance of the method for determining the flexural bearing capacity of the steel shell-UHPC composite beam considering the effect of the diaphragm, with reference to embodiments.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a method for determining the flexural bearing capacity of a steel shell-UHPC composite beam considering the effect of a diaphragm is provided, which includes the following steps:

[0056] Step S1: To study the bending performance of the diaphragm-equipped steel shell-UHPC composite beam, the structural design of the diaphragm-equipped steel shell-UHPC composite beam is first carried out, and the diaphragm-equipped steel shell-UHPC composite beam structure is constructed; wherein, as... Figure 2As shown, the steel shell-UHPC composite beam structure 100 with diaphragms includes a steel shell composed of an upper steel plate 110, a lower steel plate 120, two side steel plates 130, and two end steel plates 140, and ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) filled inside the steel shell. Longitudinal diaphragms 150 and transverse diaphragms 160 are connected inside the steel shell. Longitudinal MCL-shaped combination pins 170 and transverse MCL-shaped combination pins 180 are connected to the outer steel plates of the steel shell at intervals. In other optional embodiments, the steel shell-UHPC composite beam structure with diaphragms may also include only longitudinal diaphragms 150 or only transverse diaphragms 160.

[0057] When designing the steel shell-UHPC composite beam structure with diaphragms, the steel shell-UHPC composite beam structure with diaphragms was divided into two groups based on the arrangement of the longitudinal and transverse diaphragms. One group was equipped with longitudinal diaphragms, and the other group was not equipped with longitudinal diaphragms. The eight specimens in the two groups were named SUSCB-1, SUSCB-2, SUSCB-3, SUSCB-4, SUSCB-5, SUSCB-6, SUSCB-7, and SUSCB-8, respectively.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, SUSCB-1 is equipped with both spaced-apart diaphragms and mid-span diaphragms.

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, the SUSCB-2 eliminates the mid-span diaphragm compared to the SUSCB-1.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, the SUSCB-3 has two holes in the mid-span diaphragm, each measuring 100mm × 140mm, based on the SUSCB-1.

[0061] like Figure 6 As shown, SUSCB-4 is based on SUSCB-1 and has 8 pairs of shear studs with a horizontal and vertical spacing of 80mm, a diameter of 16mm and a length of 80mm on the transverse diaphragm. The shear studs are designed to be fully pull-out resistant.

[0062] like Figure 7 As shown, SUSCB-5 adds longitudinal diaphragms to the SUSCB-1.

[0063] like Figure 8 As shown, the SUSCB-6 adds longitudinal diaphragms to the SUSCB-2.

[0064] like Figure 9 As shown, SUSCB-7 adds longitudinal diaphragms to SUSCB-5, while also opening holes in the transverse diaphragms, with dimensions of 200mm × 140mm.

[0065] like Figure 10 As shown, the SUSCB-8 adds longitudinal diaphragms to the SUSCB-4.

[0066] The steel shell-UHPC composite beam structure with diaphragms has a length of 4000mm, a clear span of 3700mm, and a height and width of 330mm. The thickness of each diaphragm, as well as the thickness of the upper steel plate, lower steel plate, two side steel plates, and two end steel plates, is 9.75mm. The thickness of the MCL-shaped combination pins is 7.5mm. The spacing between the transverse MCL-shaped combination pin connectors is 240mm.

[0067] Step S2: The diaphragm-equipped steel shell-UHPC composite beam structure was subjected to an ultimate bending moment test using a four-point loading method to determine the failure mechanism, damage characteristics, and crack propagation law of the diaphragm-equipped steel shell-UHPC composite beam structure under bending load.

[0068] Load test: A steel distribution beam was placed on the diaphragm-equipped steel shell-UHPC composite beam structure specimen, and a four-point bending loading test was conducted on the diaphragm-equipped steel shell-UHPC composite beam structure. The load borne by the diaphragm-equipped steel shell-UHPC composite beam structure was measured by the force sensor equipped with the 1000t electro-hydraulic servo structural testing machine.

[0069] Deflection test: Displacement gauges with a range of 100 mm were placed at the mid-span, the centers of the two loading positions, and the supports of the steel shell-UHPC composite beam structure specimen with diaphragms, and numbered LVDT1-LVDT5 respectively. Figure 11 As shown. Displacement gauges LVDT1 and LVDT5 mainly record the vertical displacement at the support location, LVDT3 is used to measure the mid-span displacement as a function of load, and LVDT2 and LVDT4 are used to measure the vertical displacement at the loading point of the steel shell-UHPC composite beam.

[0070] Strain test: Five strain gauges were placed at the mid-span of both the upper and lower steel plates of the diaphragm-equipped steel shell-UHPC composite beam structure. The upper steel plates were numbered T1-T5, and the lower steel plate strain gauges were numbered B1-B5. Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the strain gauges are spaced 60mm apart to measure the tensile and compressive strain of the steel plate under load. Five strain gauges are equidistantly arranged within the height range of the UHPC at the mid-span cross-section of the diaphragm-equipped steel shell-UHPC composite beam structure to measure the strain of the UHPC at different cross-sectional heights under load. The concrete strain gauges are BX120-80AA model, with a grid width × grid length of 3mm × 80mm; the steel strain gauges are BX120-3AA model, with a grid width × grid length of 3mm × 2mm; the resistance of all strain gauges is 120Ω.

[0071] The four-point bending loading test procedure is as follows:

[0072] Before the formal loading, a preload of 10% of the estimated ultimate load was applied to debug the equipment and sensors, ensure their normal operation, and eliminate gaps between components such as supports and distribution beams. Then, the formal loading was carried out. Before reaching 80% of the estimated ultimate load, load-controlled loading was used at a loading rate of 10 kN / min, followed by displacement-controlled loading at a loading rate of 0.8 mm / min. Crack propagation and specimen deformation were recorded throughout the process until the end of the test.

[0073] The experimental phenomena are as follows:

[0074] All diaphragm-coated steel-shell UHPC composite beam structural members exhibited bending failure. The crack development process and distribution were essentially the same for each diaphragm-coated steel-shell UHPC composite beam structure, with cracks primarily vertically distributed and concentrated in the pure bending segment at failure. In the initial loading stage, the initial cracks occurred at the transverse MCL-shaped composite pins. As the load increased, the cracks gradually extended upwards, exhibiting a tree-like shape. Furthermore, cracks also appeared between the transverse MCL-shaped composite pins, gradually extending upwards, but notably, these cracks were shorter or appeared as independent cracks. As the load continued to increase, while the cracks gradually extended upwards, cracks also gradually appeared between the transverse MCL-shaped composite pins. During the yielding stage of the diaphragm-coated steel-shell UHPC composite beam structure, a gap formed between the transverse MCL-shaped composite pins and the UHPC contact surface, becoming increasingly pronounced with increasing load. A steel ruler was used to measure the gap, which could be directly inserted into the gap between the transverse MCL-shaped composite pins and the UHPC. The gap width was approximately 2 mm.

[0075] The experimental results are analyzed as follows:

[0076] In the initial loading stage, the vertical displacement changes linearly with the load, and the tensile UHPC has not yet cracked. When 20% of the ultimate load is reached, bending cracks gradually appear in the tensile UHPC, but the curve still maintains a linear growth, as shown in the figure. Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, with the continued increase in load, vertical cracks appeared at each transverse MCL-shaped composite pin in the pure bending section and continued to develop. The transverse MCL-shaped composite pins separated from the UHPC contact surface, and the slope of the curve gradually decreased with the continued increase in load. Gaps appeared at the contact surface between the diaphragm and the UHPC, and the member entered the plastic stage. With continued loading, the cracks expanded rapidly, and vertical cracks also appeared in the UHPC between the transverse MCL-shaped composite pins in the tension zone, and the vertical deflection of the member increased significantly. In the final stage of loading, the gaps between the transverse MCL-shaped composite pin-UHPC contact surface and the diaphragm-UHPC contact surface continued to increase. The ultimate bearing capacity of the steel shell-UHPC composite beam structure with diaphragm still showed an increasing trend, but the rate of increase was extremely slow, and the overall structure had good ductility.

[0077] Step S3: Establish the cross-sectional force equations for the steel shell-UHPC composite beam structure with diaphragms and calculate the ultimate bending moment;

[0078] First, we make the following assumptions:

[0079] (1) Plane section assumption;

[0080] (2) The steel reaches its yield strength, and the UHPC material reaches its ultimate stress state;

[0081] (3) Ignore the effect of relative slip at the steel-UHPC interface on the bending bearing capacity;

[0082] (4) The stress in the compression zone concrete is triangularly distributed, and the tensile stress of the tension zone UHPC is also taken into account.
