Experimental Investigation on Steel-Plate-Masonry Composite Column Compressive Behavior

Article Preview

Abstract:

The steel-plate-masonry composite structure is an innovative type of structural scheme popular in masonry structures with load-bearing walls removed for a large space. A total of 4 column specimens under static loading were tested to mainly study the failure modes, load-carrying capacity, and strain distribution in the critical cross-section. Results show that the composite columns started an initial failure from local buckling of the steel plate located between binding bolts; the main factors influencing load-carrying capacity included thickness of the steel plate, type of injected material, and initial column eccentricity; the working performance of the composite column with epoxy adhesive was better than that with cement grout; and re-distribution of compressive stress existed in the steel plates of the column. Also, the ratio of service load-carrying capacity to ultimate capacity of the steel-plate-masonry composite column is about 70%.
