A comprehensive study of the shear characteristics of steel fiber reinforced recycled concrete-filled steel tube (SRCFST) columns is conducted. 50 CFST stub columns are tested with the variables of steel tube diameter-thickness ratio ( D/t), shear span-to-depth ratio (λ), axial compression ratio ( n), and concrete mix. Two types of cements, three recycled aggregate percentages, three water-cement ratios, and three steel fiber contents are considered in design of concrete mixes. The experimental results show that SRCFST columns present the coincident shear behavior of the ordinary CFST columns. As λ is increased, shear resistance shows a downtrend, while the flexural strength presents an increasing trend. Imposing axial compression or thickening steel tube contributes to an adequate safety margin in plastic period. Based on the contributions superposition method, a predicted model of the shear capacity of SRCFST columns is proposed in consideration of shear-span ratio, axial compression, and self-stress.

Abstract: Steel fiber reinforced micro-expansive concrete (SREC) with excellent fluidity, high resistance to segregation and good self-compacting ability was prepared. Compressive test, splitting tensile test and flexural test were performed. Self-developed confined expansion test instrument of concrete filled steel tube (CFST) was used to evaluate the deformation behaviors of SREC confined in the steel tube. The structure behavior of steel fiber reinforced micro-expansive concrete filled steel tube (SECFST) was investigated through 12 short column specimens. Expansion agent invariant and steel fiber contents were the dominant variables. The results showed that when compared to common micro-expansive concrete, the splitting tensile and flexural strength of SREC were increased by 78.0% and 64.7%, respectively. When the expansion agent amount was 40kg and volume fraction of steel fiber was less than 1%, SECFST exhibited stable expansive deformation. The use of steel fiber combined with expansion agent moderately improved the yield load and ultimate load of CFST.

Abstract. This investigation was done based on the concrete filled steel tube (CFST) winter construction of Ganhaizi Bridge. Steel fiber reinforced micro-expansive concrete (SREC) with high frost-resistance ability, excellent fluidity and good self-compacting ability was prepared. Strength development mode under low temperature was illustrated. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to analyze the morphology features of hydration products at the age of 28 days. It was confirmed that when the content of sodium nitrite was 0.4%, SREC did not frost under -5°C. In addition, SEM showed that ettringite and CSH gels were in good growth state, and concrete structure was very dense. Furthermore, 6 CFST short columns were poured in the winter construction site of Ganhaizi Bridge, and another 27 short columns were cut from emitting slurry pipe filling with concrete emitted from main girder. The bearing capacity of all the CFST specimens was tested when the environment temperature rose to about 25°C. The experimental results indicated that the mechanical performances of CFST specimens with anti-freezing admixture did not exhibit degradation when cast in site under a low temperature and tested at 24.3°C. The concrete presented in this research substantially met the need of Ganhaizi Bridge CFST construction in winter.

Many in-fill materials are used to improve ductility of concrete filled steel tube (CFST), due to meeting need for a change of seismic design perspective form the previous emphasis on structural strength to emphasis on structural ductility and energy absorption. Among the various in-fill materials, steel fiber is gaining attention in the CFST column. This paper investigates effect of volume fractions of steel fiber to concrete on the behavior of short steel fiber reinforced concrete filled steel tube columns under axial compression. The volume fractions of steel fiber to concrete are 0.6, 0.9 and 1.2%. The results indicate that steel fiber reinforced concrete filled steel tube columns appears to have a significant increasing trend in ductility, and have a slight increasing trend in load capacity with volume fraction of steel fiber to concrete increasing. The failure mode of the composite columns is similar with that of CFST.
