This paper proposes applying engineered cementitious composites (ECC), which exhibit tensile strain-hardening and multi-cracking properties, at weak parts such as upper embedded columns and joints to form RC/ECC hybrid FSSFDEs for enhancing their collapse resistance and post-earthquake recoverability. The performance tests and numerical simulations of ECC materials with different mixing ratios were compared to identify the optimal ECC ratio suitable for FSSFDEs with standard concrete strength. A five-story RC/ECC hybrid FSSFDE model was designed using the preferred ECC material, followed by a static low-cycle reciprocating test. The results were compared with those from a traditional RC model to evaluate the impact of ECC on crack resistance, damage modes, and collapse resistance. Additionally, finite element analysis was conducted to further investigate the seismic performance of RC/ECC hybrid FSSFDE models with various parameters. The findings indicate that ECC significantly reduces damage to upper embedded columns and joints, enhances maintainability, and preserves the integrity of the concrete. Furthermore, ECC improves the compressive flexural capacities of longitudinal reinforcement in columns, leading to a notable increase in collapse resistance. The damage modes, ductility, stiffness degradation behavior, and energy dissipation capacity of the RC/ECC hybrid specimen are better than those of the conventional RC specimen. Finite element parametric analysis reveals that utilizing ECC shifts damage from upper embedded members to the stories beneath the upper embedding end, facilitating more uniform and controllable development of structural plastic hinges. As the number of spans beneath the upper embedding end increases, the damage to upper embedded columns intensifies. Conversely, as the number of stories beneath the upper embedding end increases, damage transfers to the grounded side, exacerbating the damage to the upper embedded columns. Therefore, it is recommended to minimize the number of spans beneath the upper embedding end when the number of stories under the upper embedding end is high.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":288,"journal":{"name":"Construction and Building Materials","volume":"468 ","pages":"Article 140418"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143437673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various techniques including XRD, SEM, FTIR, TG, ICP, MIP, and hydration heat test were employed to analyze the mechanism. The results indicate that increasing DF content notably enhances the fluidity and reduces shrinkage of MMOS cement-based materials, while mechanical properties generally decrease. However, the decline in mechanical properties becomes negligible when DF content is below 10 %. Enhanced workability and reduced shrinkage deformation were observed at high water-to-binder ratios, whereas superior mechanical properties were evident at low ratios. Microscopic analysis revealed that excessive DF content delays the hydration process, reducing the formation rate of hydration products such as Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> and 5·1·7 phase, enhances the workability and inhibits the shrinkage deformation of MMOS cement-based materials but is not conducive to early-stage mechanical properties. In the later stages of hydration, residual MgO in MMOS cement forms a dense structure interconnected with 5·1·7 phase crystals, enhancing mechanical properties. The cement shows low levels of heavy metals and harmful substances, all below regulatory limits, while leaching concentrations of heavy metals in untreated raw materials exceed standard requirements.

Utilizing this test method, a series of freeze-thaw cycle tests were conducted to analyze the frost resistance of traditional foamed concrete with target densities of 400, 700 and 1000 kg/m<sup>3</sup>. Subsequent tests focused on improving the frost resistance of foamed concrete with a target density of 700 kg/m<sup>3</sup>, commonly used in subgrade upper layers, by incorporating GF, FA, and SF. The results indicate that while increasing the target density of foamed concrete can enhance its frost resistance, it also raises production costs. When using only one material for improvement of foamed concrete with a target density of 700 kg/m<sup>3</sup>, the optimal length and dosage of GF replacing cement are 6 mm and 0.8%, respectively, and the optimal dosages of FA and SF replacing cement are 20.0% and 2.0%, respectively. Among these materials, GF yields the most significant enhancement in frost resistance when used singly. Furthermore, when GF with the optimal length and dosage is used to replace cement, incorporating an extra 20% FA or 2% SF to replace cement can further enhance frost resistance. The most effective strategy for improving frost resistance involves replacing cement with a combination of 0.8% GF with length of 6 mm and 2.0% SF.

Electrochemical techniques were utilized to investigate both macro-cell and micro-cell corrosion of rebar in cracked concrete beams across various simulated marine environments. The test results indicate that for crack widths up to 0.3 mm, the micro-cell corrosion current density of rebar in the full immersion corrosion zone is higher than that in the water level fluctuation zone.

In the full immersion corrosion zone, cracks in the reinforced concrete beams generally do not cause macro-cell corrosion of the rebar. In contrast, in the water level fluctuation zone, macro-cell corrosion occurs, with wider cracks leading to more severe macro-cell effects.

Here, we thoroughly analyzed the trajectories of several different systems to explore the effects of temperature, aging, and rejuvenation on the equilibrium and convergence properties of asphalt systems. Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we detailed how these factors influence the convergence of asphalt systems. The results indicate that using such rapidly converging indicators to signify equilibrium is insufficient to fully demonstrate the system's equilibrium (as will be shown in this study) interactions between asphaltenes are the fundamental reason affecting the convergence of RDF curves and also play a crucial role in the equilibrium and convergence of the asphalt system. The asphalt system can only be considered truly balanced when the asphaltene-asphaltene RDF curve has converged. Asphalt asphalt RDF curve converges much slower than resin, aromatics, and saturates. Aging significantly slows down the convergence of the asphaltene asphaltene RDF curve.

In order to meet the aggregate demand, in roller compacted concretes, require high volume aggregate in their mixtures, which has reached high levels due to the rapid growth and development of the construction industry worldwide, the partial or complete substitution of waste materials for aggregate is an effective, economical and sustainable method to reduce the potential environmental damages and hazards that may arise from both waste materials and the depletion of natural aggregate resources.
