This study used numerical simulation and static loading tests to examine the mechanical behavior of four early-age full-scale corbel specimens. with different longitudinal reinforcement anchorage forms and the presence or absence of stirrup configurations as primary parameters.

Consequently, this paper proposes an equivalent model simplification method for the study of the static failure of a new type spatial grid arch structure. Based on the failure state of the numerical model of the prototype structure, parameters such as the scale ratio, loading mode, and joint stiffness are simplified step-by-step. The prototype structure is simplified and made equivalent to a theoretical scaled finite element model according to the scale ratio and loading. Then, a scaled test model and an actual scaled finite element model are established through the correction of actual parameters such as materials, dimensions, and node stiffness, and are compared with and verified against the failure state of the prototype structure. Through the equivalent simplification of multiple models, the failure state, failure mode, and ultimate bearing capacity of the spatial grid arch structure are successfully determined.

These buildings typically utilize reinforced concrete frame–shear wall structures (RCFSSs). Damping technology serves as an effective approach to realize this objective. However, various damper may have different impacts on improving the seismic resilience. Hence, the aim of this study is to compare the seismic resilience of RCFSS equipped with conventional dampers (buckling-restrained brace (BRB) and viscous fluid damper (VFD)) and novel dampers (parallel double-stage yielding buckling-restrained brace (PDYBRB)), to demonstrate the potential advantages of PDYBRB in improving the seismic resilience. Full-scale tests for the PDYBRB were conducted and a simplified simulation method was validated against the test data, laying the foundation for evaluating the seismic performance of structure. One RCFSS, one RCFSS equipped with BRB (RCFSSBRB), one RCFSS equipped with VFD (RCFSSVFD), and three RCFSSs equipped with PDYBRB (RCFSSPDYBRBs) were designed, and the corresponding seismic responses and resilience were analyzed and compared. The seismic performance of the structure was significantly improved after using PDYBRB. PDYBRB reduced the maximum inter-story drift ratio (MIDR) of RCFSS by up to 41.67 % under design basis earthquake (DBE) and 44.16 % under maximum considered earthquake (MCE), showing a considerable improvement compared to VFD (30.56 % under DBE and 32.47 % under MCE) and BRB (16.67 % under DBE and 38.96 % under MCE). For maximum absolute floor acceleration (MAFA), PDYBRB achieved better control compared to VFD and BRB under both DBE and MCE. The PDYBRB realized optimal control over the MIDR and MAFA during both DBE and MCE. BRB and VFD enhanced the seismic resilience of RCFSS from level 0 to level 1, while all PDYBRB cases reached level 2 due to the simultaneous control of both MIDR and MAFA. Compared with VFD and BRB, PDYBRB exhibited notable benefits in improving the seismic resilience of RCFSS.

Firstly, based on the principle that the anchorage performance of the headed bars should not be inferior to that of the traditional hooked bars, the dimensions of the anchor plate were preliminarily determined through FE simulation. Subsequently, the rationality of the determined plate dimensions was verified through pull-out tests conducted on a total of 36 specimens.

Even under the conditions of cover spalling and existed flexural cracking, headed bars with the designed dimensions still exhibited better anchorage performance than that of 180-degree hooks.

The specimens consist of two cross-section combinations: circular-circular and circular-square, with different diameters of circular hollow section (CHS) inner tubes and dimensions of square hollow section (SHS) inner tubes. First, all of the specimens were tested under constant axial load and lateral cyclic loading; then the specimens were divided into three groups, and each group was exposed to fire at 750 °C for a specific duration time: 60 min for group 1, 120 min for group 2, and 180 min for group 3. Following the fire test, all specimens were subjected to constant axial load and cyclic lateral load until failure in order to investigate the influence of the inner tube’s geometry and dimensions, as well as the duration of fire exposure, on the behaviour of the (CFDSST) columns after post-earthquake fire conditions. The results of the study show that the (CFDSST) columns behaved in a ductile manner and maintained high strength even though they were subjected to post-earthquake fire. In general, the specimens with circular-circular cross-sections showed higher performance than the specimens with circular-square cross-sections. Also, the increasing diameter of the inner tube improved the behaviour of the circular-circular specimens. Fire exposure had a considerable effect on lateral load capacity, with greater reductions observed for longer exposure durations.
