采用冷弯薄壁方型钢管和胶合竹板通过横向约束拉杆和结构胶黏剂复合成顺纹抗压的组合空芯短柱(thin-walled steel tube/bamboo-plywood composite hollow short column with binding bars,SBCCB),采用9个试件研究SBCCB试件的偏心抗压破...采用冷弯薄壁方型钢管和胶合竹板通过横向约束拉杆和结构胶黏剂复合成顺纹抗压的组合空芯短柱(thin-walled steel tube/bamboo-plywood composite hollow short column with binding bars,SBCCB),采用9个试件研究SBCCB试件的偏心抗压破坏模式、抗压承载力和影响规律。结果表明,SBCCB试件受压破坏形态主要为柱端开胶破坏、横向约束拉杆之间基体胶合界面开胶剥离破坏和胶合竹板局部压屈破坏;SBCCB抗压极限荷载随胶合竹净横截面积增大而提高,随着长细比和荷载偏心率的增大而降低,随空心率增大而增大;约束拉杆可有效延迟SBCCB的开胶剥离破坏,改变屈曲破坏模式,有助于试件抗压承载力的提高;相对于不带约束拉杆试件,SBCCB抗压极限应力提高约17.64%;局部翘曲随约束拉杆间距减小而减小,相对拉杆间距比3.0以下能确保较小的局部翘曲变形。薄壁钢管和胶合竹板能形成较好的复合抗压结构单元,该批试件平均值抗压强度达到18.54 MPa,展现了优异的抗压性能。SBCCB可作为绿色建筑材料广泛应用于现代装配式工程结构,同时拓展竹材的应用途径,实现"以竹代木,以竹代钢",具有很好的工程价值和应用前景。展开更多
