To satisfy the requirements of both deformation and road use, the high-temperature stability and low-temperature crack resistance of the asphalt binder for the seamless expansion joint are particularly important. In this study, a temperature scanning test, high-temperature creep test, and low-temperature stress relaxation test of Matrix 502 and Colas, as the asphalt binders in the seamless expansion joints of bridges, were performed before and after ageing using a dynamic shear rheometer. An analysis of the test results revealed that both asphalts had an outstanding stress-relaxation ability and resistance to high-temperature deformation. The maximum stress relaxation of modified asphalt coals with good performance was 83%, and the permanent deformation after short-term ageing was only 0.48%. Additionally, the technical indicators according to the Swiss Federal Road Office for seamless expansion joint road guidelines and the United States Strategic Highway Research Program applicable to the asphalt binder used in the seamless expansion joint of bridges were examined with focus on the development of cost-effective bituminous mixtures for seamless expansion joints.","PeriodicalId":45617,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":"31 1","pages":"10 - 18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78933303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One major challenge in collapse risk assessment is to reliably model the non-linear structural response behaviour. This study features the rocking response behaviour of precast reinforced concrete (RC) columns based on results from previous field testing on parts of a real building and supplemented with a study of their rocking behaviours through a series of shake-table tests. The effects of bidirectional earthquake actions on failure drift capacity of columns have also been incorporated, such that realistic estimates of displacement capacity were made for constructing collapse fragility functions, which were then combined with the ground motion recurrence relationships of Melbourne, Australia for the computation of collapse probability. A suite of typical soft-storey buildings was adopted, with considerations given to a diversity of site conditions. Deaggregation of the results reveals the range of return periods that controls the collapse risk, which could have important implications for the choice of earthquake scenarios for seismic analysis and design in regions of lower seismicity.","PeriodicalId":45617,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":"95 1","pages":"307 - 319"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74174929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the ground shock and air-blast pressure might act simultaneously on the structure for some standoff distance with a particular quantity of the explosive charge and cause severe damage than by air-blast pressure. Therefore, the ground shock and air-blast pressure both should be considered for estimating the structural response by such a near-field detonation. The objective of the present study is to assess the performance of the masonry heritage building under air-blast pressure without and with ground shock generated from on the ground spherical-shaped TNT explosive charge at varying standoff distances. The considered building is a heritage brick masonry structure in lime-surkhi mortar. The time lag between the ground shock and air-blast pressure for different scaled distances is evaluated. Stresses have been computed and are compared with the provisions of the Indian and Australian Standard Codes of Practice for Structural Use of Unreinforced Masonry. Also, the damage assessment has been carried out using the concrete-damaged plasticity (CDP) model available in the ABAQUS finite element program.","PeriodicalId":45617,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":"4 1","pages":"329 - 344"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78900170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An innovated setup was designed to investigate the impact of behaviour of concrete material based on the drop-weight test. The drop-weight velocities before and after impact were recorded through a laser system. Based on the velocity variation, the energy that was absorbed in concrete material during the test, which also was the impact resistance of the sample’s failure section, had been calculated. CRC samples with rubber percentages varying from 0% to 20% were tested. Experimental results verified the advantages of using rubber on material impact behaviour. Finally, as a structural application, reinforced CRC slabs were tested under static and impact loads. Experimental results showed that CRC slabs exhibited superior post-cracking performance with member moment capacities comparable or even higher than that of reinforced traditional concrete (TC) slabs. It is believed that this unique phenomenon was due to zip-shaped cracking section along CRC slab width. At last, a series of impact tests were conducted and test results showed a significant reduction in the peak stress response in CRC slabs when compared with TC slabs.","PeriodicalId":45617,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":"440 1","pages":"294 - 306"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74398619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The strain and deflection of the prestressed beams are measured, and the failure process and failure modes are investigated under the action of different load forms. The rebar strain, bending bearing capacity and bending stiffness of the PCBs are explored, and a comparative analysis is conducted. The results show that the average strain is linearly distributed along the beam height for all PCBs. The load versus span deflection curve and rebar strain curve of the specimens show that the grouting compactness has little effect on the early stage of beam cracking, but the effect becomes increasingly obvious after the beam cracks. Under different load forms, when the grouting compactness of the PCB increases, the crack distribution becomes more concentrated, the spacing narrows, and the ductility decreases. The load-bearing capacity of the PCB with 100% grouting compactness can be improved by more than 30% compared with that of the prestressed beam with 0% grouting compactness of the metal bellows.","PeriodicalId":45617,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":"133 1","pages":"279 - 293"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78464700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Large-size wide-flange (WF) steel brace members could be selected and used in these frames. In the current study, a finite element model (FEM) with a strain-based fracture rule is presented to investigate the performance of a large-size WF brace member in single-storey CBF with different sizes of beams and columns when subjected to reversed axial displacements. The effects of restraining the far ends of the beam bottom-flange, increasing the thickness of tab-plates, increasing the number of bolts used to connect the tab-plates to the web of the beam, and the location of the work-point along the brace with respect the beam-column assembly, on the hysteresis response of the frame are investigated. Results suggest that it may be advantageous to reduce the number of bolts and to increase the bolt size to allow for an increase in the thickness of the tab-plates to resist the extreme rotational demand in high seismic regions, thereby preventing fracture of the weld between the tab-plates and the column flange.","PeriodicalId":45617,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":"59 1","pages":"263 - 278"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85523026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
