Abstract:
Deconstructable composite beams, in which bolted connectors are introduced between prefabricated concrete slabs and steel beams, offer promising demolition efficiency. Compared with conventional cast-in-situ composite floor systems, such novel composite beams provide favourable economic performance and sustainability by considerably improving the recyclability of structural components. In this study, four full-scale deconstructable beam-to-column composite joints with deconstructable beams were designed, manufactured, and tested under monotonic and cyclic loading. The structural performances-crack pattern, failure mode, strain distribution and moment-rotation response, energy dissipation, and deterioration evolution-were investigated thoroughly. The effects of the loading scheme and a force-transmission sleeve on the structural performances were simultaneously studied. The moment-rotation responses showed that the composite joints possess outstanding strength, rotation capacity, ductility, and energy dissipation ability. The deformability satisfies the minimum rotation capacity specified by Eurocodes 3 and 4. Strain analysis demonstrated that the composite beams provide favourable composite shear interactions. The installation of the force-transmission sleeve improved the strength of a com-posite joint owing to the incorporation of steel bars split by the column into the moment-resisting system. These deconstructable composite joints can achieve favourable deconstructability and demolition efficiency at the termination of service life, and thus, serve as novel structural members.
