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.

This paper presents some results of theoretical and experimental investigations of composite steel-concrete columns with solid steel profiles - steel cores. Due to absence of simplified design method according to EN 1994-1-1 [1], design of these columns in practice is limited in general. Reasons for this are residual stresses in steel profile caused by fabrication process and limitation of strains in concrete. Recommendations have been determined for simplified design method according to EN 1994-1-1 for composite columns made of high strength concrete filled steel tube with central steel core. Results of experimental research on composite columns with the cross-section made of steel core covered by reinforced concrete are presented.

In this paper, the authors proposed an optimal design method for the strength design of infant pop-up seat frame combined with rear seats for infants, children, and adults, not removable booster seats or car seats. Frame strength design was performed using discrete material and thickness optimization (DMTO) method considering high strength steel (HSS) and advanced high strength steel (AHSS). Structural design using the Section 4 link mechanism was performed, and the weakness of the seat frame due to static load was confirmed through finite element analysis. An optimal design criterion was established by carrying out a case study to derive the limiting conditions according to static and dynamic loads. In consideration of these criteria, the optimal design according to d-optimal and discrete Latin-hypercube (DLH) was performed among the design of experiments (DOE). And the strength of the pop-up seat frame for infants according to each DOE was checked, and the strength optimization method was suggested by comparing the lightweight ratio.

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.
