Abstract
A double vertical steel tube (DVST) sandwich panel, with a core layer composed of inner and outer vertical circular hollow steel tubes, was proposed as a sacrificial cladding to mitigate the damage induced by impact loading to reinforced concrete (RC) column. Through experimental tests and numerical simulations, dynamic behaviors of the DVST sandwich panel under low-velocity impact was evaluated. The impacts of varying inner tube diameters and single-layer versus double-layer configurations on the failure mode and the time-history of impact forces of the DVST sandwich panels were examined. The results indicated that the steel tube of the upper layer in double-layer DVST sandwich panels played a crucial role in absorbing impact energy. Additionally, the effectiveness of the DVST sandwich panel as a sacrificial cladding for RC columns under low-velocity impact was investigated. The findings revealed that the presence of the DVST sandwich panel reduced the energy absorbed by the RC column by approximately 60.1 %, effectively preserving the integrity of the column while minimizing deformation and damage.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
