Concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns are frequently used in construction due to their high ductility and improved loadbearing capacities. At beam-to-CFST column joints, gusset plates welded the outer face of tube, specific elements should ensure shear transfer between inner concrete core. The current systems studs, internal rings, angles, plates, bars, tab stiffeners, etc. Although good, t...

A TCP–TCL model is established to describe the relationship between the thickness of the corrosion-filled paste (CP) and that of the corrosion layer (CL). This model can describe the phenomenon that the corrosion filling in the concrete pores and accumulating at the steel/concrete interface occur synchronously. Based on the TCP–TCL model, a corrosion-induced concrete cracking model, which can q...

The temperature field analysis method of steel tube reinforced columns under fire by finite element analysis software ABAQUS is proposed in this paper. The theoretical method is validated by tests, and the calculated results agree well with those of tests. On the basis of that, the influencing laws of temperature rising time; section perimeter; steel reinforcement ratio and sectional core area ...

Concrete-filled composite elements have recently gained popularity as beams and columns all over the world. They advantages similar to reinforced concrete elements, such moulding process lack of maintenance filled concrete, well hollow steel enhancing compressive strength bending capacity by using smaller sections. In this paper, buckling behaviour thin-walled with circular cross-section differ...

Gap between the steel tube and core concrete of Concrete-Filled Steel Tube (CFST) members is regarded as an initial imperfection, which may exist in CFST arch bridge due to construction process problems. In this paper, based on design scheme bolt-welded joints rib columns extra-long span bridge, effects two types imperfections, interfacial gap spherical-cap gap, mechanical properties Bolt-Welde...

Structural engineers have assessed the possibility of replacing part natural aggregates with rubber particles in concrete recent years to obtain sustainable structural members. It has been confirmed that use can enhance ductility and energy absorption capacity concrete. By contrast, compressive rubberized (RuC) is usually lower than normal (NC). Confining RuC steel tubes be considered as an app...

To improve the seismic behavior of shear walls, a new composite wall composed steel-fiber-reinforced high-strength concrete (SFRHC) web and two square concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns, namely with CFST is proposed in this paper. Therefore, main purpose paper to present an experimental investigation SFRHC columns. Pseudo-static tests were carried out on seven performance walls was studi...

A total Lagrangian finite element FE model has been formulated for the nonlinear inelastic analysis of both composite beams and columns. An accurate rotation matrix is used in the position vector analysis and nonlinear strain derivations. The slip between the steel and concrete components due to the flexible shear connection at their interface is considered as an independent displacement in the...
