In order to study the mechanical properties and energy evolution of low-temperature concrete during uniaxial compres‐sion, a uniaxial compression test was performed on concrete. In addition, the evolution laws of compressive strength, deformation modulus and total energy, elastic potential energy, dissipated energy and peak energy of concrete in the process of deformation and failure are analyzed. The effects of age and temperature on low-temperature concrete is analyzed from the perspective of energy. Test results show that temperature improves the strength and deformation of concrete to varying degrees. When cured for 28 days, the compressive strength and deformation modulus of concrete at −20 ℃ is increased by 17.98% and 21.45% respectively, compared with the compressive strength and deformation modulus at room temperature of 20 ℃. At the point of failure of the concrete under uniaxial compression, the total damage energy and the dissipation energy both increase, while the developed elastic strain energy increases and then decreases. Increase in curing duration tends to increase the total destruction energy of concrete, peak point elastic strain energy, peak point dissipation energy, and peak point total energy. Whereas increase in curing durations, has shown to decrease the total destruction energy of concrete, the peak point elastic strain energy, peak point dissipation energy, and peak point total energy. The peak point strain energy reflects the ability of low-temperature concrete to reasonably resist damage. By using the principle of energy analysis to study the deformation process of concrete, it provides research methods and ideas for the deformation analysis of this type of material under load.

The absence of beams in flat slab systems usually lead to excessive deformation of the slab and punching shear failure at the slab–column connection. Several researches have been conducted to enhance the connection region. The main objective of this research is to investigate the punching shear behavior of a slab–column connection using high-strength concrete (HSC) in the critical section of the connection under cyclic loading. Nonlinear finite element analysis for normal- and high-strength concrete in ABAQUS/Standard is used to simulate the slab–column connections. The accuracy of the model is verified using experimental results conducted by other researchers. The control specimen for the current study is developed from the validation specimen by providing high-strength concrete at the critical section, and a steel section in the column. Then an extensive parametric study has been investigated to evaluate the effects of slab thickness, gravity shear ratio, column aspect ratio, and prestressing force. The results indicated that, despite the increase in the lateral load-carrying capacity, the HSC slab thickness decreases the drift capacity of the connection. Also, the specimens with increased slab thickness from 200 to 300 mm and column aspect ratio from 1 to 2 increased the energy dissipation and the initial stiffness of the connection by about 4%, 47%, 43%, and 35%, respectively. However, the specimen with an increased gravity shear ratio from 0.3 to 0.6 decreased the energy dissipation at failure and initial stiffness degradation capacity of the HSC slab–column connection by 4% and 13%, respectively. The prestressing force increased the initial stiffness and energy dissipation more than the control specimen and moved the crack away from the critical section.
