“…So far, the mechanical properties of the PFCC column had been extensively studied, such as its static performance (Fakharifar and Chen, 2016; Ma et al, 2012; Toutanji and Saafi, 2002; Yu et al, 2015), seismic performance (Jiang et al, 2014b; Yu et al, 2018), and durability (Toutanji and Saafi, 2001), and a relatively complete research methodology was established. To promote the development of the PFCC from component level to structure level, the performance of the PFCC column-beam joint strengthened with an enlarged ring beam (Yu et al, 2019, 2020b) and core steel tube (Yu et al, 2020a) had been experimentally and theoretically investigated. In order to further enrich the connection form of the novel composite column and RC beam, referring to the existing joint connection methods, an enlarged joint strengthened with multi-layer steel meshes was proposed, as shown in Figure 1.…”
