Stub Columns

Experimental and numerical investigations of concrete-filled double-skin aluminium stub column with a circular hollow section as the outer skin and a square hollow section as the inner skin are presented in this article. A test program was carried out to study the influences of aluminium tube geometric dimensions and concrete strength on structural performance and strength of composite columns. A series of composite columns was tested on outer circular hollow section tubes and inner square hollow section tubes; the spaces between them had been filled with concrete of different nominal cylinder strengths of 40, 70 and 100 MPa. The tubes were fabricated by extrusion using 6061T6 heat-treated aluminium alloy having a nominal 0.2% proof stress of 240 MPa. A non-linear finite element model was developed and verified against experimental results. The test and numerical results were compared with the design strengths to evaluate the applicability of the design rules in the American specifications for aluminium and concrete structures. In addition, the proposed design equations, developed by the authors for concrete-filled double-skin aluminium tubular stub columns with circular hollow section as both outer and inner skins, were used to calculate the design strengths and compared with the experimental and numerical results obtained in this study. The proposed design equations also predicted the ultimate strengths of the concrete-filled double-skin aluminium tubular stub columns accurately with circular hollow section as the outer skin and square hollow section as the inner skin.

Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance properties, considerable long-term durability, and good mechanical strength. Hollow sections are a versatile and efficient form for construction applications. The use of cold-formed stainless steel rectangular hollow section (RHS) and square hollow section (SHS) in construction industry grasps the attention of designers conceiving long-term, cost-effective structures. For cold-formed RHS and SHS, localized imperfection (ω) resulting from rolling and fabrication process is inevitable. ω has inherent variability and has no definitive characterization. In this paper, statistical analysis of the maximum value of ω collected from available experimental data is conducted. A new approach utilizing Fourier series to generate the three-dimensional (3D) models of members with random ω is proposed. Probabilistic studies based on the proposed 3D models are then carried out to evaluate the effect of uncertainty in ω on the ultimate compressive strength of stainless steel columns with cold-formed RHS and SHS. A total of 21 columns that are prone to local buckling reduction are studied. The results show that uncertainty in ω has a considerable influence on the columns with relatively higher cross-sectional slenderness.
