High strength steel sections have been increasingly used in buildings and bridges, and steel angles have also been widely used in many steel structures, especially in transmission towers and long span trusses. However, high strength steel exhibits mechanical properties that are quite different from ordinary strength steel, and hence, the local buckling behavior of steel equal angle members under axial compression varies with the steel strength. However, there is a lack of research on the relationship of the local buckling behavior of steel equal angle members under axial compression with the steel strength. A finite element model is developed in this paper to analyze the local buckling behavior of steel equal angle members under axial compression, and study its relationship with the steel strength and the width-to-thickness ratio of the angle leg. The finite element analysis (FEA) results are compared with the corresponding design method in the American code AISC 360-05, which provides a reference for the related design.

As a promising composite structure, gangue concrete filled steel tubular (GCFST) column exhibites favarable characteristics including high strength and economic efficiency. This paper conducted numerical investiagations on structural behavior of a ring-beam connection to GCFST column with concrete beam under cyclic loading. Furthermore, finite element models of column-beam connections were developed using ABAQUS and validated against full-scale experimental tests to identify accuracy of selected modeling approaches. Using these validated models, stress distribution of each component was examined to study the force-transferring mechanism among the components and failure modes of the ring-beam connection. Research study indicated that the ring-beam connection showed a reasonable force-transferring mechanism under cyclic loading and the remarkable earthquake-resistant performance with high capacity and acceptable ductility. Finally, parametric studies were performed to assess the influences of beam-to-column stiffness ratio,steel ratio, axial load level, and concrete compressive strength on connection cyclic behaviors. Parametric studies provided some suggestions and references for the application of the ring-beam connection in various engineering projects.
