Parametric analysis of the dynamic behavior of RC columns with the confinement effect of overlapping hoops subjected to lateral rapid loadings

Hits:

Journal:Civil Engineering Journal-Stavebni Obzor

Abstract:To further examine the effect of the strain rate on the behaviour of hoop-confined reinforced concrete (RC) columns, the dynamic behaviour of overlapping hoop-confined RC columns subjected to lateral rapid loadings is investigated by applying finite element analysis. Based on the verified finite element model, the effect of the following five parameters on the dynamic behaviour of RC columns were discussed considering both strain rate effect and confinement effect: the loading rate, axial load ratio, volume ratio of stirrups, shear span ratio and configuration of hoops. The following conclusions were made. The lateral-load-carrying capacity increases and the ductility decreases because of the rapid loadings, but the increase in volume ratio of the stirrups weakens the effect of the loading rate on the ductility. The axial load ratio and volumetric ratio of the stirrups affect the dynamic increasing factor (DIF) of the lateral-load-carrying capacity, but the effect of the shear span ratio on the DIF can be neglected. The increase in flexural-load-carrying capacity due to the increase in volume ratio of the stirrups under static loadings is higher than that under rapid loadings. The difference in effect of the two configurations of overlapping hoops on the dynamic behaviour of RC columns is notably small.

Profile

Dr. Bin Xu is currently the Minjiang Scholar Professor of Civil Engineering, a professorship appointed by Fujian Provincial Government, at Huaqiao University, Xiamen, China. He currently is the Director and Founder of the Key Laboratory for Intelligent Infrastructure and Monitoring (IIM) of Fujian Province, and the Director and Founder of the International Centre for Safety and Sustainability of Civil Engineering at Huaqiao University. 

Before joining Huaqiao University, he was a Lotus Scholar Professor of Civil Engineering (a professorship appointed by Fujian Provincial Government) at Hunan University from 2005 to 2016 and was also the associate dean of the College of Civil Engineering at Hunan University from 2010 to 2016. He was also the Director of the Hunan Provincial Key Lab on Damage Prognosis for Engineering Structures from 2015 to 2016 at Hunan University. He taught and carried out research at the Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University as a Curtis Visiting Professor appointed by Purdue University in 2014-2015 academic year. He had been invited and financially support by European Commission to work at Sapienza University of Roma in 2010 and hired by University of Western Australia as a Gledden Visiting Senior Fellow from 2007 to 2008. Before starting working in China in 2005, he worked at University of Missouri-Rolla in US as a Post-Doc from 2003 to 2005 and at Ibaraki University in Japan as a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) postdoctoral fellow from 2001 to 2003. 

He has been the supervisor of 7 Ph.D., 1 Post-Doc, 4 international visiting students and over 60 MS students. All of his PhD students are working at universities. Dr. Xu has committed to securing competitive external funds to support programs, research, and labs. He has been the PI and Co-PI of 14 competitive government funded research projects including a China- European Commission international collaborative research project, an international collaborative research project between National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and National Natural Science Foundation (NSF) of US, and a number of NSFC research projects. He is also the recipient of Grant-in-aid of 7 talent programs sponsored by China Ministry of Education (CMoE) and other government agencies.

He also serves on various academic societies as Editor-in-Chief, Executive Editor, Associate Editor, Guest Editor or editorial board member for international journals and professional committees as Standing Committee Member, Executive Member or Committee Members.
