Interfacial Bond Behavior of High Strength Concrete Filled Steel Tube after Exposure to Elevated Temperatures and Cooled by Fire Hydrant

摘要

For the engineering structure in case of fire, a fire hydrant is generally used for extinguishing the fire. This paper presents an experimental investigation on interfacial bond behavior of high-strength concrete-filled steel tube (HSCFST) after exposure to elevated temperatures and cooled by fire hydrant using the pull-out test of 22 specimens. According to the experimental study, the failure mechanism of HSCFST exposed to elevated temperatures and water-cooling (ETWC) was revealed, the influence of various parameters on the bond behavior was analyzed, and the calculation formula of the bond strength of HSCFST subjected to ETWC was put forward. The results show that the load-slip curves of the loading end and the free end of the specimen are basically similar, and can be divided into three types of typical curves. In the push out test, the strain on the outer surface of the steel tube is exponentially distributed with its distance from the loading end. After ETWC exposure, the bond strength of the specimen is less affected by the concrete strength, which is inversely proportional to the anchorage length, and it is basically stable after the constant temperature duration is longer than 60 min. With the increase of the maximum temperature, the ultimate bond strength increases first, then decreases and then increases, and the residual bond strength increases first and then decreases. Besides, the study indicate that cooling method has significant influence on the bond behavior, compared with natural cooling specimens, the ultimate bond strength, residual bond strength, and shear bond stiffness of water-cooling specimens are smaller, and the interfacial energy dissipation capacity is larger.
