Abstract
In this study, stainless steel bars with the same diameter were used to replace ordinary stressed steel bars in reinforced concrete bridge piers. An ultra-high drop hammer impact test system was ad...
Highlights
Due to the fact that stainless steel exhibits superiority in strength, ductility, corrosion resistance, and maintenance costs,[1,2,3,4] its use in replacing ordinary reinforced concrete (RC) structures has become a developing trend
Researchers have carried out a great deal of theoretical and experimental research regarding stainless steel–reinforced concrete (SSRC) structures.[5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]
The uniaxial tensile and low cycle test research on different types of stainless steel have been studied by Zhou,[12] and the results have shown that stainless steel displays strong ductility, along with a resistance to fatigue damage
Summary
Due to the fact that stainless steel exhibits superiority in strength, ductility, corrosion resistance, and maintenance costs,[1,2,3,4] its use in replacing ordinary reinforced concrete (RC) structures has become a developing trend. More than 3400 tons of stainless steel have been used in the Hong Kong–Zhuhai– Macao Bridge, which is currently under construction in China It has been mainly used for the precast concrete pier shafts, tower bases, bearing pad stone, bearing platforms, and abutments of bridges. Numerical research regarding the dynamic responses of RC columns under lateral impact loads has been conducted by Zhang et al.[17] Through experimental research, the influence of the reinforcement ratio on the lateral impact properties of RC columns has been analyzed by Feng et al.[18] a series of experiments and theoretical studies on the dynamic response of steel tube concrete beams and columns under lateral impact loads have been performed by Ren et al.[19] and Wang et al.[20]. The results of this study could potentially provide valuable references for impact resistance designs, as well as the evaluations of SSRC bridge piers
