Shear wall with concrete filled steel tube columns and concealed trusses is a new kind of shear wall. In order to further the seismic performance of the new shear wall, experiment was carried on three 1/5 scale models, which included one traditional RC shear wall, one shear wall with concrete filled steel tube columns, one shear wall with concrete filled steel tube columns and concealed trusses. Based on the experimental study, load-carrying capacity and hysteretic property of each model were analyzed. The study show that the seismic performance of shear wall with concrete filled round steel tube columns and concealed steel trusses has high bearing capacity and good hysteretic property. Load carrying capacity calculation of shear wall with concrete filled steel tube columns and concealed steel trusses were carried out, the calculate results were in good agreement with the measured results.


Concrete filled steel tube (CFST) columns are composite member mainly consists of concrete infilled in steel tube. In current construction industry, CFST columns are preferred to provide lateral resistance in both unbraced and braced building structures. In this paper, finite element studies were carried out on concrete filled steel tube columns under an axial composite loading by using ABAQUS/CAE. The inelastic behavior of concrete and steel tube was defined to the model by using concrete damaged plasticity model (CDP) and Johnson-cook model respectively which is available in ABAQUS/CAE. The diameters of columns were considered as 100 mm, 125 mm and 150 mm, whereas the length of columns was kept constant, i.e. 600 mm for all models. The thickness of steel tube was considered as 4 mm and 5 mm for all diameters of columns. The concrete infilled of grade M30 was used in this study. The simulations were carried out against composite loading to study the response of CFST columns in terms of load carrying capacity, displacement and von-mises stresses. The mesh conversion study was also carried out to obtain the best size of mesh corresponding to the experimental load carrying capacity of CFST columns

In order to make an effective use of the recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), a total of six steel tube RAC columns and six basalt fiber (BF) reinforced RAC columns, including six columns that were externally strengthened with aramid fiber reinforced polymer (AFRP) sheets, were fabricated and tested. This were to provide a strengthening solution to upgrade the load carrying capacity, ductility and rigidity of the RAC filled steel tube columns. Besides, the recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) replacement ratios for production of RAC was analyzed. The results show that the load carrying capacity and ultimate displacements of the RAC filled ST columns could be improved greatly by adding of basalt fiber, especially for the specimens with 50% and 100% RCA replacement ratio. The similar result was also found for the specimens strengthened with AFRP reinforcement, along with the stiffness of the columns were enhanced obviously. Moreover, the highest improving on the load carrying capacity, stiffness and ultimate displacement was found in the specimens both reinforced by adding of BF and strengthening of AFRP. However, the failure modes of the specimens with BF reinforced RAC gave a higher deformability than the one with AFRP strengthening arrangement.

Composite circular steel tubes- with and without epoxy infill for three different grades of concrete are tested for ultimate load capacity and axial shortening , under axial monotonic loading for compression. Steel tubes are compared for different lengths, cross sections and thickness. Specimens were tested separately after adopting Taguchi’s L9 (Latin Squares) Orthogonal array in order to save the initial experimental cost on number of specimens and experimental duration. DOE (Design of Experiment) approach was adopted. Results were generated using Taguchi’s method-a new technique to get mean effects plot. Analysis was carried out using ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) technique with the assistance of Mini Tab v15- a statistical soft tool. Results were verified after conducting preliminary nine combination experiments as per L9 orthogonal array and linear regression models were developed. Comparison for predicted and experimental output is obtained from linear regression plots. To know the implications of different factors on circular composite columns with and without epoxy, surface contours were also generated. From this research study it is concluded that ,Regression models which were developed with minimum number of experiments based on Taguchi’s method predicted the axial load carrying capacity very well and reasonably well for at ultimate point. Cross sectional area of steel tube has most significant effect on ultimate load carrying capacity. Also it is observed that, as length of steel tube increased- load carrying capacity decreased.
