    Abstract:

    In order to improve seismic performance of interior joints in the recycled concrete frame structures, silica powder and hybrid fiber were used to improve the seismic performance of recycled concrete. Under the same axial compression ratio, and with the same reinforcement ratio and recycled aggregate replacement ratio, four interior-joints of the frame columns were manufactured by different amount of silicon powder and hybrid fiber. Low cyclic lateral loading tests were performed to study and compare the failure mode, hysteretic behavior, ductility, energy dissipation, and deformation characteristics between the common recycled concrete and enhanced recycled concrete. The test results show that the recycled concrete interior-joints experienced four stages including initial crack, general crack, ultimate state, and damage. Meanwhile, the performance of enhanced recycled concrete is superior to that of common recycled concrete, such as the failure pattern, hysteresis curve, ductility performance, deformation, and energy dissipation, especially in terms of failure pattern and ductility. Additionally, with the increase of silicon powder and mixed fiber content, the improvement effect has a downward trend, while due to the application of silicon powder mixed with hybrid fiber, the seismic performance of the recycled concrete interior-joints is obviously improved. Therefore, this enhanced recycled concrete can be applied to the structures in the seismic fortification regions.
