The post-fire axial compressive behavior of a set of steel fiber reinforced ceramsite concrete filled steel tubular short columns (noted as SFCC-SSC) was experimentally studied. Effect of the maximum value of fire response temperatures of the specimens and some parameters on the axial compression performance of the specimens was especially discussed. The results show that the surface of the steel tubes after fire presented dark red for 700°Cof furnace temperature and orange red for 900°C, and there was no obvious descending segment in post-fire load-displacement curves of the most specimens subjected to fire load. It was concluded that the axial bearing capacity of the specimens aftersuffering the furnace temperature of 900°C is much less than that of the specimens not subjected to fire load, and the volume of steel fiber of 0.5% of has the greatest effect on post-fire bearing capacity of specimens of SFCC-SSC.

Experimental Values

The mechanical properties of T-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular (TCFST) short columns under axial compression after elevated temperature are investigated in this paper. A total of 30 TCFST short columns with different temperature (T), steel ratio (α), and duration of heating (t) were tested. The TCFST column was directly fabricated by welding two rectangular steel tubes together. The study mainly investigated the failure modes, the ultimate bearing capacity, the load-displacement, and the load-strain performance of the TCFST short columns. Experimental results indicate that the rectangular steel tubes of the TCFST column have deformation consistency, and the failure mode consists of local crack, drum damage, and shear failure. Additionally, the influence of high temperature on the residual bearing capacity of the TCFST is significant, e.g., a higher temperature can downgrade the ultimate bearing capacity. Finally, a finite element model (FEM) is developed to simulate the performance of the TCFST short columns under elevated temperature, and the results agree with experimental values well. Overall, this investigation can provide some guidance for future studies on damage assessment and reinforcement of the TCFST columns.

Cfst Columns

Local buckling in steel tubes was observed to be capable of reducing the ultimate loads of thin-walled concrete-filled steel-tube (CFST) columns under axial compression. To strengthen the steel tubes, steel bars were proposed in this paper to be used as stiffeners fixed onto the tubes. Static-loading tests were conducted to study the compression behavior of square thin-walled CFST columns with steel bar stiffeners placed inside or outside the tube. The effect and feasibility of steel bar stiffeners were studied through the analysis of failure mode, load–displacement relationship, ultimate load, ductility, and local buckling. Different setting methods of steel bars were compared as well. The results showed that steel-bar stiffeners proposed in this paper can be effective in delaying local buckling as well as increasing the bearing capacity of the columns, but will decrease the ductility of the columns. In order to obtain a higher bearing capacity of columns, steel bars with low stiffness should be placed inside and steel bars with high stiffness should be placed outside of the steel tubes. The study is helpful in providing reference to the popularization and application of this new structural measure to avoid or delay the local buckling of thin-walled CFST columns.

The Impact

In view of development and repair costs, support of structures is imperative. Several factors, for example, design and calculation errors, absence of appropriate installation, change of structures application, exhaustion, seismic tremor, fire and natural conditions diminish their strength. In such cases, structures have need of rehabilitation and restoration to achieve their original performance. One of the most up to date materials for retrofitting is carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) that can provide an amount of restriction to postpone buckling of thin steel walls. This paper provides a numerical and experimental investigation on CFRP strengthened short steel tubes with initial horizontal and vertical deficiency under compression. Ten square and circular specimens were tested to study effects of the following parameters: (1) position of deficiency, horizontal or vertical; (2) tube shape, square or circular; (3) CFRP strengthening. In the experiments, axial static loading was gradually applied and for the numerical study three-dimensional (3D) static nonlinear analysis method using ABAQUS software was performed. The results show that deficiency reduces load-bearing capacity of steel columns and the impact of horizontal deficiency is higher than the impact of vertical deficiency, in both square and circular tubes. Use of CFRP materials for strengthening of short steel columns with initial deficiency indicates that fibers play a considerable role on increasing load bearing capacity, reducing stress at the damage location, preventing deformation caused by deficiency and delaying local buckling. Both numerical and experimental outcomes are in good agreement, which underlines the accuracy of the models adopted.

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the short composition columns reinforced with the prefabricated super high strength concrete used stone-chop(abbreviated to SHSCUS) filled with steel tubes with 1RC as reference. The experimental parameters were the concrete type inner steel tubes, and L/D ratio, steel ratio and so on. The performance of the composition columns was investigated using different diameter-to-thickness ratio of steel tubes ranging from 15 to 26.6, and different cubic strength of 126.7, 120.3, 122.4, 134.4, 125.4, 111.4, 108.6MPa of infill concrete. The experimental results showed that concrete cover falling off was prior to specimens failure, and that the design rule, as specified in current code suitable for HSC overestimate the ultimate bearing capacity, were not suitable for the case with SHSCUS. Then the hypothesis was put forward based on experimental phenomena observed, and the formula of its ultimate load capacity was suggested based on superposition method, by which the predicted values have a good coincidence with those from the experiments.

This paper studies the impact performance of concrete filled FRP-steel tube which is a composed structure made by filling concrete into steel tube and wrapping outside with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheet. Numerical simulations have been conducted to study the dynamic response of fixed-pined supported beams of concrete filled FRP-steel tubes. The finite element models of concrete filled FRP-steel tubes are established to analyse its lateral impact dynamic characteristics under different loading situations, with respective kinds of FRP and thicknesses of steel tubes. The impact force and displacement histories were recorded. Comparing to the traditional concrete filled steel tube structure, the concrete filled FRP-steel tube indicates a promising structure with more advantages in the mechanical and constructional performance. Especially with its higher loading-carrying capacity and better toughness, it is more adaptable for the structures subjected to accidental impact load. Analytical solution is compared with experimental result to show the correctness and the effectiveness of present study.
