To investigate the applicability of the methods for calculating the bearing capacity of high-strength steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) composite columns according to specifications and the effect of confinement of stirrups and steel on the bearing capacity of SRC columns. The axial compression tests were conducted on 10 high-strength SRC columns and 4 ordinary SRC columns. The influences of the steel strength grade, the steel ratio, the types of stirrups and slenderness ratio on the bearing capacity of such members were examined. The analysis results indicate that using high-strength steel and improving the steel ratio can significantly enhance the bearing capacity of the SRC columns. When the slenderness ratio increases dramatically, the bearing capacity of the SRC columns plummets. As the confinement effect of the stirrups on the concrete improves, the utilization ratio of the high-strength steel in the SRC columns increases. Furthermore, the results calculated by AISC360-19(U.S.), EN1994-1-1-2004 (Europe), and JGJ138-2016(China) are too conservative compared with test results. Finally, a modified formula for calculating the bearing capacity of the SRC columns is proposed based on the confinement effect of the stirrups and steel on concrete. The results calculated by the modified formula and the finite element modeling results based on the confinement effect agree well with the test results.

The increasing demand for natural gas will further influence the type of its transportation in the future, both from the strategic and economic point of view. Long-distance pipelines are a safe and economic means to transport the gas from production sites to end users. High-strength steels in grade X80 are nowadays state of the art. Grade X100 was recently developed but not yet utilised. The present-day technical limitations on the production of X120 line pipe namely the steel composition, the pipe forming and the welding are addressed in this paper. Production test results on X120 pipes are presented to describe the materials properties. A low carbon and low PCM steel with VNbTiB microalloying concept is used. In the plate rolling the main attention is turned to the heavy accelerated cooling. The large spring back that occurs during the U-forming step of the UOE process is one of the most complex aspects in forming X120. To handle this aspect FEM calculations were used to modify the forming parameters and to optimise the shape of the U-press tool. For optimising the existing welding procedure with respect to an avoidance of HAZ softening, a low heat input welding technology and new welding consumables were developed.

Based on the CTOD test, metallographic test is done. The effect of microstructure on CTOD of welded joints for offshore high-strength steel has been analyzed by SEM. The microstructure of different samples in a welding procedure and two different welding procedures are compared. From the microscopic point of view, the reasons why the toughness of the second group welded joints is better than the first group’s and why the toughness of the same group welded joints is different have been determined. And the main microstructure found in EQ70 steel welded joints is the ferrite, tempered sorbite and a small amount of pearlite. Besides some carbide particles are on the matrix of tempered sorbite. The material toughness with a small amount of acicular ferrite is better. Inclusions and pores also seriously affect the toughness of welded joints. Reducing the welding heat input appropriately can refine the grain of CGHAZ and improve toughness. But hardened microstructure may occur owing to too low welding heat input.

To investigate the bearing capacity of the hollow Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) pipe-concrete-steel tube composite long columns subjected to eccentrical compression load, 33 hollow GFRP pipe-concrete-steel tube composite long columns have been designed. The slenderness ratio (λ), compressive strength of concrete cube (fcu), eccentricity (e) and so on are the main parameters. Based on constitutive models for steel, GFRP and confined concrete, numerical simulation of the hollow GFRP pipe-concrete-high strength steel tube composite long columns has been carried out by using software ABAQUS. The rationality of the constitutive models and modeling method has been verified by comparing the experimental and simulated load-displacement curves. The influence of different parameters on the mechanical behavior of this kind of column has been investigated. Results show that with the increasing of t1, t2 and fcu, the ultimate eccentrical compression bearing capacity of the specimen increases. With the increasing of e, the ultimate displacement of the specimens increases, while the ultimate eccentrical compression bearing capacity decreases. The eccentricity has a significant influence on the ultimate eccentrical compression bearing capacity. With the increasing of λ, the ultimate eccentrical compression bearing capacity of the specimens gradually decreases. The specimens suffer from ductile failure. The formula of the ultimate eccentrical compression bearing capacity of the composite columns is obtained by statistical regression. The study can provide theoretical support for the application of the composite columns in practical engineering.
