In order to exert the force performance of steel tubular columns filled with steel-reinforced concrete, the focus of the paper is about the influence of load condition on flexural mechanical properties and the shear mechanical properties of the composite columns. The two types of loading conditions are: 1.Steel pipe, steel placed in the steel tube and concrete subject to compressive load simultaneously; 2.Compressive load acts on steel and concrete. The results show that the calculated results based on ADINA and the experimental ones are in agreement well. The calculated results also show that the load condition has no influence on flexural mechanical properties, but has a great influence on shear mechanical properties of the composite columns.

This article presents a staggered and out-of-plane connection between concrete-filled steel tubular column and reinforced concrete beam (SOC-TCB). SOC-TCB is taken from the basement roof joint of Suning center, which is a height of 341.85 m in China. In this joint system, the H-shaped steel brackets are welded with steel tube to transfer shear and moment. Moreover, the reinforcing bars are interrupted by steel tube and lapped with steel bracket. To investigate the seismic behavior of SOC-TCB, four types of SOC-TCBs were tested under reversal cyclic loading. The differences between specimens were staggered height and out-of-plane angle. Seismic performance was evaluated based on hysteretic behavior, failure mode, shear deformation, rotational deformation, and energy dissipation. The results showed that the shear deformation of joints was extremely small and the plastic hinges were formed at reinforced concrete beams. Due to insufficient anchorage length of longitudinal bars, anchoring failure was found in the reinforced concrete beams. However, SOC-TCB showed better seismic behavior as long as sufficient anchorage of longitudinal bars was ensured.

To study axial compressive strength of high strength concrete-filled steel tube composite columns, tests of 18 specimens were carried out. Parameters of the specimens were the confinement index of concrete-filled steel tube, the cubic strength and the stirrup characteristic value of concrete outer of steel tube. Test results show that the concrete-filled steel tube and the reinforced concrete deformed simultaneously in the axial direction before and at the peak value of axial compressive force; after failure of the reinforced concrete, the concrete-filled steel tube can still bear the axial load and deformation; the main influential factors of axial compressive capacity are confinement index, the cubic strength and the stirrup characteristic value of concrete outer of steel tube. The accuracy of the formula of axial compressive strength of composite columns provided by CECS 188:2005 is proved by the test results of this paper.

ABSTRACT This work includes an analytical and experimental study of the structural behavior of shear connectors in composite columns, composed of concrete-filled circular hollow section. For this study was adopted a structural bolt like a shear connector in order to verify the validity of the analytical expressions in ABNT NBR 16239: 2014 [1]. Was carried out a series of push-out tests, fixing the outer diameter of the hollow section and varying the thickness, the bolt diameter, the strength of concrete and the hole dimension. Analysis of the results shows that is possible to use this type of shear connector. The Brazilian prescriptions results are conservative and may be adjusted to provide strength capacity value closest to the experiment.

The steel-plate reinforced concrete shear wall with rectangular concrete filled steel tube (CFST) columns is a new kind of composite shear wall. In order to ascertain its seismic behavior and failure mechanism, four 1/5 scale specimens with the same shear span ratio 1.5, different thickness of the steel-plate and different axial force ratio, were tested under horizontal cyclic loading. The thickness of steel-plate in the walls is 2mm, 4mm, 4mm and 6mm, respectively. Based on the experiment, the load-bearing capacity, hysteretic characteristics, ductility, stiffness degradation, energy dissipation capacity and failure mode of the specimens were contrastively analyzed. And the effect of the ratio of height to sectional thickness of steel-plate and the value changes of axial force ratio on seismic behavior of the new shear wall was also analyzed. The result shows that the steel-plate reinforced concrete shear wall with rectangular CFST columns has good seismic performance and important engineering value.

The reinforced concrete-filled steel tube (RCFST) column solves several of the problems of the concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) column in practical engineering applications. Moreover, RCFST has a simple joint structure, high bearing capacity, good ductility, and superior fire resistance. From a structural safety perspective, designers prioritize the creep performance of CFST members in structural design. Therefore, the creep behavior of RCFST columns should be thoroughly investigated in practical engineering design. To study the influence of the creep behavior of RCFST columns under axial compression, this work analyzed the mechanical behavior of composite columns based on their mechanical characteristics under axial compression and established a creep formula suitable for RCFST columns under axial compression. A creep analysis program was also developed to obtain the creep strain–time curve, and its correctness was verified by existing tests. On this basis, the effects of the main design parameters, such as the stress level, steel ratio, and reinforcement ratio, on the creep behavior were determined and analyzed. The creep of the tested composite columns increased rapidly in the early stages (28 days) of load action; the growth rate was relatively low after 28 days and tended to stabilize after approximately six months. The stress level had the greatest influence on the creep of RCFST columns under axial compression, followed by the steel ratio. The influence of the reinforcement ratio on the creep behavior was less. The results of this study can provide a reference for engineering practice.

For the optimum performance of the structural members, the joint of the beam and column has a significant role. This paper presents the behavior of encased steel column and reinforced concrete beam with an improved connection system. In this connection, the steel tube which interrupts the longitudinal reinforcement in the beam is made continuous in the joint zone. This is done by providing square steel cage inside the concrete casing at the joint. This system is easier for casting and tube filling when compared to the conventional method of in-situ welding and hole-drilling. Experiments were conducted on eight specimens with two specimens in each series which included four control specimens. Number of tiers and the number of concentric rings were the variables among the specimens. The specimens were tested under a constant axial load and reversed lateral loading. Experimental results indicate a significant increase in the lateral strength capacity and ductility ratio of the beam-column when the joint is provided with the square steel cage inside the concrete casing.
