Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The application of new nano/micron bio-originated supplementary materials in construction represents an innovative approach to enhancing the performance and sustainability of building materials. Nano and micron-sized materials derived from biological sources, such as plants, bacteria, or other organic sources, may be incorporated into construction materials to impart unique properties and enhance their overall functionality. These bio-originated materials offer several advantages, including increased strength, ductility, and durability. Additionally, bio-originated materials contribute to the development of eco-friendly construction solutions by reducing reliance on traditional, non-renewable resources.

The main aim of this Special Issue is to explore the latest developments and challenges relating to nano/micron bio-originated supplementary materials in construction. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Microbial mineralization;
  • Biomimetic materials or smart materials;
  • Biomass ash or biochar;
  • Recycled biomass in construction materials;
  • Bio-assisted modification;
  • Materials designed according to biological processes;
  • Interactions between buildings and bio-induced environments;
  • New evaluation methodology and continuous assessment of bio-based materials in construction;
  • Simulations related to biological processes and/or biomaterials in building.

Abstract
This study proposes a form of concrete-filled steel tube column with a multiple-chamber round-ended cross-section (M-CFST). Longitudinal and transverse stiffening ribs divide the circular-ended section into different chambers, strengthening the steel tube’s confinement effect on the core concrete and improving the component’s seismic [...] Read more.
This study proposes a form of concrete-filled steel tube column with a multiple-chamber round-ended cross-section (M-CFST). Longitudinal and transverse stiffening ribs divide the circular-ended section into different chambers, strengthening the steel tube’s confinement effect on the core concrete and improving the component’s seismic performance. A three-dimensional finite element (FE) solid model of the M-CFST is created by employing the FE software ABAQUS. Quasi-static analysis is conducted to investigate the influence of parameters, such as chamber arrangement, aspect ratio, and axial compression ratio, on flexural hysteresis performance. Moreover, the failure modes, hysteresis curves, skeleton curves, strain development, and energy dissipation of the components are analyzed. The results show the following: (1) The FE model presented in this study can simulate the quasi-static behavior of CFST columns accurately, and the calculated results are in good agreement with the measured values. (2) The seismic performance of the composite column is excellent, with a large number of chambers leading to a robust hysteresis curve for the composite columns, resulting in increased bearing capacity and energy dissipation capacity. However, the energy dissipation performance of the specimen with a two-chamber arrangement is slightly lower than that with a single-chamber arrangement. (3) The results of the finite element analysis suggest that the long and short sides of the CFST columns with a large length–width ratio should be arranged to be relatively close in length.
