Concrete Filled Steel Tubular Stub Columns

The main experimental parameters for stub columns were the diameter to thickness ratio and hollow section ratio while those for beam columns were.

Concrete filled steel tubular stub columns.

Both outer and inner tubes were circular hollow sections chs. Roeder overview of hybrid and composite systems for seismic design in the united states eng. This paper presents an experimental study on the cyclic behavior of fifteen concrete filled steel tubular columns subjected to vertical cyclic loading. Refined finite element fe models are developed for capturing the fire performance of cfst and cfsst stub columns under iso 834 fire.

1 shows some typical profiles of cfdst columns. The cft represents concrete filled steel tubular stub column. Concrete filled steel tubular cfst columns with circular square and rectangular cross sections have been widely used in civil engineering applications owing to their good structural performance to satisfy aesthetic requirements studies have been conducted on cfst columns with new cross sections such as triangles hexagons ellipses d shapes and fan shapes by a few. Extensive investigations have been carried out to study the mechanical performance of circular square and rectangular cft columns 1 c w.

1 for orthogonal stirrups. The main variables in the test are the thickness of the steel tube 1 8 and 3 0 mm with the width to thickness ratios svg xmlns xlink http. Concrete filled steel tubular cft columns have been widely used as structural members. Geometric properties and characteristics of specimens are shown in table 1 where the first number in the specimen label represents the type of stirrups.

And 3 for loop stirrups. A series of tests on concrete filled double skin steel tubular cfdst stub columns 14 and beam columns 12 were carried out. All test samples cross sectional area is 75 75 mm sup 2 sup square and they are 500 mm long. The wall thickness of steel tube is the variable and other parameters are kept the same as mentioned above.

5 a shows the effect of wall thickness on the load strain responses where. This paper introduces simplified design methods for calculating the load bearing capacity of axially loaded concrete filled carbon steel tubular cfst stub columns and concrete filled stainless steel tubular cfsst stub columns. In this paper the tube wall thickness on the mechanical performances of the concrete filled steel tubular stub columns with round ends is also discussed. Concrete filled steel tubular cfst columns are widely used in construction of high rise buildings and peers of bridges to increase the lateral stiffness of the buildings the axial load capacity ductility toughness and resistance of corrosion of the columns.
