Test loads of the support reached 6 567 kN with multi-directional loading requirements, which outrange the capacity of the available loading devices. Through the reinforcement of a large-scale multi-directional inplane loading device, the innovative design of a self-balanced load transferring device, and other arrangement considerations of the loading system, the test was implemented and the loading capacity of the ring was considerably enlarged. Due to the heavy loading requirements, some checking computations of the ring and the load transferring device outranged the limit of the Chinese national code "Code for Design of Steel Structures (GB 50017—2003)", thus elastic-plastic finite element (FE) analysis was carried out on the two devices, and also the real-time monitoring on the whole loading systems during experiments to ensure test safety. FE analysis and test results show that the loading system worked elastically during experiments.展开更多

Key joints and Bridges with high durability requirements should adopt pier forms with superior anti-corrosion performance and seismic performance. This paper presents a composite material-concrete-steel composite pier column, which is composed of glass fiber wound steel outer pipe, steel inner pipe and concrete filled between them. The composite column is expected to have superior corrosion resistance, ductility and seismic performance. In this paper, the joint construction and design method of the composite column and foundation are introduced to provide ideas for the design and application of the composite column.展开更多
