Abstract

A seismic steel tubular column with internal local restraint and filled with high-strength compound concrete containing normal-strength demolished concrete lumps, and a construction process. The seismic column includes a steel tube ( 1 ), high-strength fresh concrete ( 2 ), normal-strength demolished concrete lumps ( 3 ), horizontal stirrups ( 4 ), and longitudinal erection bars ( 5 ). The horizontal stirrups ( 4 ) are arranged at upper and lower ends inside the steel tube ( 1 ). The high-strength fresh concrete ( 2 ) is poured and the normal-strength demolished concrete lumps ( 3 ) are put alternately inside the steel tube ( 1 ). A compressive strength of the high-strength fresh concrete ( 2 ) is 30˜90 MPa greater than that of the normal-strength demolished concrete lumps ( 3 ).

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A seismic steel tubular column with internal local restraint and filled with high-strength compound concrete containing demolished concrete lumps, comprising:
a steel tube;
horizontal stirrups, wherein the horizontal stirrups are arranged at upper and lower ends inside the steel tube, with the steel tube having a circular or polygonal cross section, and the horizontal stirrups corresponding to the circular cross section are uniformly arranged and more concentrated in one-seventh of a height range from the lower end of the steel tube and in one-seventh of a height range from the upper end of the steel tube respectively than other areas of the steel tube, while the horizontal stirrups corresponding to the polygonal cross section are uniformly arranged and more concentrated in one-fifth of a height range from the lower end of the steel tube and in one-fifth of a height range from the upper end of the steel tube respectively than other areas of the steel tube; and
high-strength fresh concrete, wherein the high-strength fresh concrete and the demolished concrete lumps are mixed and arranged inside the steel tube, with a compressive strength of the high-strength fresh concrete being 30-90 MPa greater than a compressive strength of the demolished concrete lumps,
wherein the height range is the distance between the lower end of the steel tube and the upper end of the steel tube.

2. The seismic steel tubular column with internal local restraint and filled with high-strength compound concrete containing demolished concrete lumps according to claim 1 , wherein the demolished concrete lumps are waste concrete lumps from demolished old buildings, structures, roads, bridges or dams and protective layers and all or part of steel reinforcements in the waste concrete lumps have been removed.

3. The seismic steel tubular column with internal local restraint and filled with high-strength compound concrete containing demolished concrete lumps according to claim 1 , wherein the high-strength fresh concrete is a natural aggregate concrete or a recycled aggregate concrete, and has a compressive strength no less than 60 MPa.

4. The seismic steel tubular column with internal local restraint and filled with high-strength compound concrete containing demolished concrete lumps according to claim 1 , wherein the demolished concrete lumps have a characteristic size no less than 100 mm, and a mass ratio of the demolished concrete lumps and the high-strength fresh concrete is 1:4-1:1.

5. A construction process of the seismic steel tubular column with internal local restraint and filled with high-strength compound concrete containing demolished concrete lumps according to claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
(1) spot welding a plurality of horizontal stirrups and two longitudinal erection bars into one, then lifting the two longitudinal erection bars, uniformly arranging the plurality of horizontal stirrups in one-seventh of a height range at a lower end and in one-seventh of a height range at an upper end inside a steel tube respectively when the steel tube has a circular cross section, and uniformly arranging the plurality of horizontal stirrups in one-fifth of the height range at the lower end and in one-fifth of the height range at the upper end inside the steel tube respectively when the steel tube has a polygonal cross section, then spot welding the two longitudinal erection bars to the inner wall of the steel tube;
(2) fully wetting demolished concrete lumps in advance, pouring high-strength fresh concrete with about 20 mm thickness into a bottom of the steel tube first, then alternately putting wet demolished concrete lumps and the high-strength fresh concrete inside the steel tube and fully vibrating until pouring is finished, so that the demolished concrete lumps and the high-strength fresh concrete are uniformly mixed.
