Effect of Steel Slag Fine Aggregate on the Seismic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Columns with Steel Slag Sand by Tianhai Zhao, Dongling Zhang, Qiang Jin, Sen Li, Xuanxuan Liu

“…Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism through which SSA influences the seismic performance of SSCCs remains insufficiently understood, and current analytical models fail to accurately capture the effects of bond strength on structural behavior. In this study, a comprehensive experimental program comprising central pull-out tests and quasi-static cyclic loading tests was conducted to investigate the influence of SSA on bond strength and the seismic response of SSCCs. …”
