Experimental Study on Stress Transfer of Joints Connected Steel Member with Reinforced Concrete Member Using Anchor Bolt

Abstract eng:
To clarify the behavior of the joint connected steel member with reinforced concrete member using anchor bolt based on stress transfer from steel member and reinforced concrete member, three specimens were tested under reversed cyclic loading. All specimens had same the dimensions and the cross sections of steel member and reinforced concrete member, respectively. The experimental variables were the length of the anchor bolt embedded in reinforced concrete member and having transverse reinforcements in the joint or not. It is designed so that yielding of steel member and anchor bolt does not occurred. The effect of these experimental variables on the stress transfer from steel member to reinforced concrete member and seismic behavior of the joint were discussed. From the test results, it was shown that stress transfer from steel member to reinforced concrete member in the joint could be mobilized by transverse reinforcements arranged intensively around anchor bolt even if the length of the embedded anchor bolt was relatively short for the effective depths of reinforced concrete member and the failure mode of specimen was controlled greatly by the length of the embedded anchor bolt than transverse reinforcements in the joint.
