Abstract Hollow concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) member is mainly adopted in power transmission and transformation structures, but when it is used in the superstructure with complex stress, the hollow CFST member has a low bearing capacity and is prone to brittle failure. To improve the mechanical performance of hollow CFST members, a new type of reinforced hollow high strength concrete-filled square steel tube (RHCFSST) was proposed, and its axial compression performance was researched. 18 finite element analysis (FEA) models of axially loaded RHCFSST stub columns were established through FEA software ABAQUS. The whole stress process of composite columns was studied, and parametric studies were carried out to analyze the mechanical performance of the member. Parameters of the steel strength, steel ratio, deformed bar and sandwich concrete strength were varied. Based on the simulation results, the stress process of members can be divided into four stages: elastic stage, elastoplastic stage, descending stage and gentle stage. With the increase of steel strength, steel ratio, the strength of sandwich concrete and the addition of deformed bars, the ultimate bearing capacity of members also increases. Additionally, the increment of those parameters will improve the ductility of the member, except for the sandwich concrete strength.

Based on the experimental results of three steel fiber reinforced high-strength concrete frame exterior joint under the low cycle loading, the numerical simulation by nonlinear finite element method was adopted to analyze their behaviors and to explore the influence of axial compressive ratio on seismic capacity of the joint. The results indicate that the increase of the axial compressive ratio enhances the restriction role to the joint core area concrete, slows down the degeneration degree of shearing-resistance capacity and stiffness, enhances the shearing-resistance capacity of the core area, the joint ductility and the energy dissipation capacity. The finite element analysis coincides well with the experimental results. In finite element analysis, steel fiber was equated with micro-reinforcement, and then put evenly into the concrete unit. Compared with the test results, the method of taking the steel fiber and concrete as a holistic model was thus validated.
