This paper presents the axial bearing capacity of thin welded rectangular steel stubs filled with concrete sand. A series of tests was conducted to study the behavior of short composite columns under axial compressive load; the cross section dimensions were 100 × 70 × 2 mm. A total of 20 stubs have been tested, as follows: 4 hollow thin welded tubes were tested to axial and eccentric load compression, 4 were filled with ordinary concrete appointed by BO columns, 6 were filled with concrete whose natural sand was completely substituted by a crystallized sand slag designated in this paper by BSI, and 6 were tucked in concrete whose natural sand was partially replaced by a crystallized sand slag called BSII. The main parameters studied are the height of the specimen (300 mm–500 mm), eccentricity of load and type of filling concrete. Based on test results obtained, it is confirmed that the length of the tubes has a considerable effect on the bearing capacity and the failure mode. In all test tubes, fracture occurred by the convex local buckling of steel section due to the outward thrust of the concrete; it was observed that the sand concrete improves the bearing capacity of tubes compounds compared to those filled with ordinary concrete.

The test results of nine stub-column tests performed on partially encased composite (PEC) columns made with welded H-section steel are described and presented. The H-section steel is stiffened with transverse link and concrete is poured between the flanges of the steel section. The axial comprehensive study has been conducted on all specimens to investigate the ultimate axial capacity of PEC columns. The failure of all columns is due to local buckling of the flanges along with concrete crushing. Closer link spacing improves the ductility of the columns; however, the measurements show that in general yielding do not occur before the peak load in the links. The additional longitudinal bars have no a remarkable effect to the strength of the composite columns. Finally, an equation is proposed to predict the ultimate axial capacity of the partially encased composite column.

Abstract: 7 square steel tubular columns were tested to discuss the ultimate axial bearing capacity, ductility performance and the steel consumption under stiffened by steel belts and binding bars of different cross-sections. Test results indicate that only by increasing fewer amounts of steel usage, stiffened square CFST columns with binding bars can not only improve the overall effects of restraint and alleviate regional local buckling between the binding bars, but also improve the bearing capacity of concrete filled square steel tubular columns. The utility benefits and the economical benefit is considerable, deserving extensive use.

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.

Overall 12 specimens were experimentally investigated in this paper to study the hysteretic behaviors of the concrete-filled square CFRP-steel tubular (S-CFRP-CFST) beam-columns. The test results indicated that CFRP can provide transverse confinement effect and longitudinal strengthening effect for the concrete filled square steel tubular (S-CFST) beam-columns effectively and the local buckling of the steel tube is deferred. The hysteretic load-deflection curves and the hysteretic moment-curvature curves at the mid-span of all the specimens are generally plump, and it shows these specimens have good hysteretic performance. In the later loading period, the load bearing capacity drops.

The post-fire performance of a set of ceramsite concrete filled steel tabular short columns (noted as CCSSC) after exposure to fire are experimentally studied. Effect of the maximum value of fire response temperatures and geometrical parameters of the composite columns on the strength and ductility of the specimens were especially discussed. The test results show that the specimens of CCSSC have higher post-fire bearing capacity and better ductility, and both of maximum response temperature and geometrical parameters of the specimens presented here have great effect on the post-fire bearing capacity and ductility of ceramsite concrete-filled steel short columns after exposure to fire.

Mechanical behavior and bearing capacity of ordinary concrete filled steel tubular short column (NCSSC) and ceramsite concrete filled steel tubular short column (CCSSC) subjected to fire load are experimentally investigated. Effect of the parameters, such as the maximum value of fire temperatures, fire duration on the strength and ductility of the two types of specimens were especially discussed. The test results show that both of the specimens of NCSSC and CCSSC after fire have higher bearing capacity and better ductility, there was no descent segment in load-displacement curves of the most specimens after the fire load was subjected, and even the case that bearing load increased again after descent segment arose. It was concluded that the maximum response temperature of specimens and fire duration time has great effect on the axial bearing capacity of concrete-filled steel tubular short columns subjected to fire, and there is a turning point of temperature for the influence.

The improvement effect of the external concrete to stability of the core steel-tube was demonstrated by the steel-tube replacement ratio through experimental study. The test results show that, with the steel-tube replacement ratio increasing, the ultimate bearing capacity of composite columns increased correspondingly, and the ductility of composite columns was improved obviously also. Therefore, the steel-tube replacement ratio should be involved in the formula for calculating the ultimate bearing capacity of composite columns. By finite element method and regression analysis, the slenderness ratio is amended by the steel-tube replacement ratio and the calculation results of the eccentric compression bearing capacity agreed well with the test results.

The behaviour of single free-head model flexible vertical and batter piles under the general case of eccentric and inclined loads in two-layered soil is investigated. The bearing capacity of the piles is found to depend on the layered structure, the eccentricity and inclination of the load, and the pile batter. The theoretical estimates of ultimate loads obtained from semiempirical relations agree fairly well with the test results. Key words : bearing capacity, deformation, batter pile, eccentricity factor, eccentric load, inclination factor, inclined load, layered soil, model test, sand, clay.

AbstractDesign analysis method developed in this study did not use a safety factor that can be used for the design of steel structures that are capable of supporting heavy working load with the weight as light as possible in order to obtain an effective and efficient structure in terms of technical and economic. In this research program, a method of cut-off strength is used as a basis of predicting the strength of a square hollow steel section affected by the interaction of concentrated-compressive load and bending moment. The method cut-off strength is illustrated in the form of two plastic and elastic curves of loaddeflection, where the value of load at an intersection of these curves is assumed to be the theoretical strength of the steel section with respect to the interaction of concentrated-compressive load and bending moment. The plastic curve is established according to a load-deflection equation that is developed through the analysis of energy equilibrium on the plastic failure mechanisms model of the steel section. Meanwhile, the elastic one is established according to another load-deflection curve that is developed through the analysis of non linear elastic concept of the steel structure. This analytical method is implemented by using computer software. In order to measure the accuracy of the design of this analytical model developed in this program, its predicted results are verified using actual strength data obtained from a number of tests on the square hollow steel sections subjected to the interaction of concentrated-compressive load and bending moment to failure. Verification results indicate that the ratio of the analytical-predicted data and experimental one is still scattered within tolerable limits of ± 20 %. AbsrakMetode analisis disain yang dikembangkan didalam penelitian ini tidak menggunakan faktor keamanan sehingga dapat digunakan untuk mendisain struktur baja yang mampu mendukung beban kerja dengan berat yang seringanmungkin sehingga diperoleh struktur yang efektif dan efisien dari segi teknis dan ekonomi. Dalam penelitian ini, suatu metode cut-off strength digunakan sebagai dasar untuk memprediksi kekuatan profil baja ringan berpenampang persegi (SHS) akibat interaksi beban tekan memusat dan momen lentur. Metode cut-off strength diilustrasikan dalam bentuk dua kurva beban-defleksi plastis dan elastis, dimana nilai beban diperpotongan kedua kurva tersebut diasumsikan sebagai kekuatan teoritis profil baja SHS terhadap interaksi tekan memusat dan momen lentur. Kurva plastis dibentuk berdasarkan persamaan beban-defleksi yang dikembangkan melalui analisis kesetimbangan energi model mekanismekerusakan plastis profil baja SHS. Sementara itu, kurva elastis dibentuk berdasarkan persamaan beban-defleksi yang dikembangkan melalui analisis non-linear elastic profil baja SHS dengan mempertimbangkan efek local buckling pada penampang profil yang tertekan. Metode analisis ini diimplementasikan dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak (software) komputer. Untuk mengukur ketelitian model analisis disain yang dikembangkan dalam penelitian ini, hasilprediksi kekuatan profil baja SHS diverifikasi menggunakan data kekuatan aktual yang dihasilkan melalui pengujian sejumlah profil baja SHS akibat interaksi beban tekan memusat dan momen lentur sampai rusak. Hasil verifikasi menunjukkan bahwa rasio data prediksi analitis dan eksperimental masihtersebar dalam batas-batas toleransi yang umum digunakan yaitu ± 20 %.
