Abstract
Although traditional steel-concrete composite beam has excellent structural characteristics, it cannot meet the requirement of quick disassembly and repair in the bridge. This article presents an experimental study on friction performance of damaged steel-concrete interface in recoverable composite beam connected by high-strength frictional bolts. A total of 21 specific split tests were carried out using different concrete strength, steel strength, and surface treatment of steel. The experimental results showed that the demountable high-strength frictional bolt used in composite beam has similar performance as in the bare steel structures. The initial friction coefficient and slip stiffness were measured to be 0.34–0.47 and 52.3–116.1 kN/mm, respectively. Friction performance of damaged interface was obtained, proving that friction coefficient and slip stiffness will not decrease after the first slip damage. It is also confirmed that shot blasted steel and concrete with higher strength were more suitable in the demountable composite beam.
