Abstract
Fire is one of the main objects of study at the cutting edge of the research on disaster prevention and mitigation in structures. In the event of a fire, the mechanical properties of the structural material will be significantly reduced, resulting in serious consequences. This paper simulates the tensile properties of sleeve grouting members at five different temperatures, to contribute to the research here. The simulated member stress-strain curves fit well with the corresponding experimental results. The paper introduces constitutive models of concrete, steel, and sleeve. Beyond that, a feasible finite element model of the grouted sleeve is proposed. Two special points’ (yield point, ultimate point) coordinate formulas which are related to different temperatures (25–1000 °C) are presented. It indicates the regularity of fully-grouted sleeve tensile force-displacement curves in various temperatures. Meanwhile, the research content provides the basis for further research on reinforcing bars spliced by grout-filled coupling sleeves.
