    Abstract:

    In order to study the seismic performance of steel reinforced ultra-high strength concrete frame structure, three quasi-static cyclic tests of steel reinforced super-high strength concrete frames with one-story and one-bay were carried out. The global failure modes as well as the local failure at the bottom column-end under low-cycle reversed load were examined. The hysteretic and skeleton curves were analyzed, and the strain of the beam end and column bottom was evaluated. Meanwhile, the loading and displacement values at different stages were evaluated, and the global deformation of the entire structure was further understood through the development of local strains. Furthermore, the strength, ductility, and energy-dissipation capacity of the frame structures were obtained through the tests. The test results show that the steel reinforced ultra-high strength concrete frames exhibit good ductility and energy dissipation capacity, showing little discrepancy between forward reverse ductility coefficient, slow degradation of strength and stiffness, and plump hysteretic curve. It is also concluded that most of the earthquake energy is dissipated in columns, while the constraint effect of beams improves the global stability of frame structure as well as energy dissipation capability especially after the load-carrying capacity decreases to 80 percent of the ultimate load, which provides the effective load-carrying capacity in structures under severe earthquakes, and thus sudden collapse of the frame structure can be avoided.
