Constitutive relation of stiffened square CFST Columns

Performance of Stiffened Slender Built up Steel I-Columns

Abstract—The present work illustrates a parametric study for the effect of stiffeners on the performance of slender built up steel Icolumns. To achieve the desired analysis, finite element technique is used to develop nonlinear three-dimensional models representing the investigated columns. The finite element program (ANSYS 13.0) is used as a calculation tool for the necessary nonlinear analysi...

Finite Element Analysis for CFST Columns under Blast Loading

The columns of frame structures are the key load-bearing components and the exterior columns are susceptible to attack in terrorist blasts. When subjected to blast loads, the columns would suffer a loss of bearing capacity to a certain extent due to the damage imparted which may lead to their collapse and even cause the progressive collapse of the whole structure . The concrete-filled steel col...

research behavior of concrete filled steel tube columns, cfst

concrete filled steel tube columns (cfst) are a kind of composite columns according to advantages of cfst relative to reinforced concrete and steel columns. use of these materials is common in recent years especially in high building, unnecessary of molding, high ductility, proportionate resistance with low volume, economical, low deformation relative to steel columns are among advantages. in t...

Study on Axial Compressive Behaviors and Bearing Capacity Formulas of the Composite CFST Columns

Nonlinear finite element analysis of Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFST) columns under projectile impact loading

This paper presents a three dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis for Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFST) columns subjected to lateral impact load. The finite element models were developed using commercial code ABAQUS/Explicit, which were validated against the experimental results. The study has been carried out to examine the influence of several parameters such as the length of the tube...
