Composite columns such as concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) were adopted in many building constructions in recent years because of carrying high loading with the ability to resist buckling and small cross-sectional area. The high behavior of the CFST columns is due to the interaction between steel and concrete which called the composite action. This type of composite column without main and tie reinforcements embedded in concrete gives high axial compression strength to resist the external loadings with the economic sectional area. The work presented in this article includes simulation models that tested by other researchers and a parametric study on the performance of frames that connected steel beam by composed columns of circular CFST that subjected to lateral loading. A finite element (FE) approach is adopted to simulate the models by ANSYS software. All models consider the linear and nonlinear material analysis of the concrete and steel. The validity of the developed model was examined by comparing with the experimental data founded in the literature. Different parameters such as the ratio of the axial load, the slenderness ratio of CFST column, the linear stiffness ratio of the beam–column, the steel yield strength of the beam, the steel yield strength of the tube, and concrete strength on the performance of the composite frames were also studied and the load-deformation performance was obtained over the different cases of the study. Analysis results by FE modeling were in good agreement with the experimental results.

Based on the finite element (FE) analysis software Abaqus, an FE model of square-cased square steel tube reinforced concrete (ST-RC) columns under the hybridized action of high-temperature and load is established. The accuracy of the FE model is verified using experimental data from existing studies. This model is used to analyze the temperature change, internal force distribution, and failure characteristics of the square-cased square ST-RC columns under the action of fire, as well as the factors affecting the fire resistance limit of the column. The results of FE analysis show that under the action of fire, the maximum internal temperature of the square-cased square ST-RC columns occurs in the corner of the section. Moreover, the stress and strain reach their maximum values at the concrete corner outside the tube. During the heating process, an internal force redistribution occurs in the square-cased square ST-RC column. At the same time, the proportion of the axial force and the bending moment of the reinforced concrete outside the pipe decreases gradually, while the proportion of the internal force of the core concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) increases gradually. In essence, it is a process of load transfer from the high-temperature to the low-temperature zone. In addition, the section size, load ratio, slenderness ratio, cross-sectional core area ratio, steel content, and external concrete strength are the main parameters affecting the fire resistance limit of the square-cased square ST-RC columns. Among them, the cross-sectional core area ratio, section size, steel ratio, and external concrete strength are positively correlated with the fire resistance limit of the composite column. On the contrary, with the increase in the load ratio and the slenderness ratio, the fire resistance limit of the square-cased square ST-RC columns decreases. On this basis, a simplified formula to calculate the fire resistance limit of square-cased square ST-RC columns is proposed. The research results can be used as a theoretical reference for the fire protection design of this kind of structure in practical engineering.

Square Steel Tube

The axial compressive performance of novel L-shaped and T-shaped concrete-filled square steel tube (L/T-CFSST) column was assessed in this study. Ten L/T-CFSST columns were tested to failure under axial load. The experimental data were used to determine various failure modes, bearing capacities, and load-displacement curves. The test parameters included the section form, steel tube thickness, steel yield strength, and slenderness ratio. The axial compressive performance of the L/T-CFSST column proved favorable, and each square steel tube showed strong cooperative performance. The failure mode of the stub column specimen (H/D ≤ 3) was strength failure caused by local buckling of the steel tube and that of the medium-long column member (H/D > 3) was instability failure caused by overall bending of the specimen. A finite element analysis (FEA) model was established and successfully validated by comparison against the test results. Based on the FEA model, parametric analyses were conducted to investigate the effects of steel tube thickness, concrete strength, steel yield strength, and slenderness ratio. The ultimate loads obtained from the experiments and FEA were compared to the results calculated by the available design codes. A formula was established to calculate the axial compressive strength and stability bearing capacity of the L/T-CFSST column accordingly. The calculation results are in close agreement with the FEA and experimental results, and the proposed formula may provide a workable reference for practicing engineers.

In order to analyze the dynamic performance of the steel tube filled with steel-reinforced concrete under dynamic loading, the paper based on finite element approximation and inverse power of the iterative algorithm, used FORTUNE language to establish the structural dynamic analysis program. Calculated the critical loads and natural period of vibration and other data of the steel tube filled with steel-reinforced concrete column, and through curve analysis, obtained the rules of the stability of steel and seismic performance on the column from the influence parameter of slenderness ratio , steel ratio , concrete strength and etc. The results show that the slenderness ratio impacts greater than other parameters, so it must be strictly controlled within a certain range; meantime, the results also prove that improving steel ratio and reduce the strength of the concrete is not significant on the earthquake action

AbstractThin-walled steel tube/bamboo-plywood composite hollow columns (SBCCs) have excellent physical and mechanical properties. The simple cross section of this composite makes it simple to process and suitable for industrial production. In this paper, axial and eccentric compression tests were conducted on 21 specimens to study the failure characteristics and maximum bearing capacity of this composite. The test results showed that compressive failure in an SBCC is primarily characterized by damage from glue failure at the matrix interface at the end of the column, internal damage of the bamboo-plywood material, damage from glue failure on the tension side in the middle of the column, and buckling damage to the plywood material on the compressive side. The overall adhesive strength between the matrixes primarily determined the failure mode. The maximum bearing capacity of the SBCC generally increased with the net cross-sectional area of the bamboo and decreased with the slenderness ratio and eccentricity. The hollow ratio reduced the slenderness ratio of the test specimens with the same net cross-sectional area of the bamboo and increased the critical compressive load, which significantly improved the compressive load capacity, as was reflected in the slenderness ratio. Finally, a model was formulated based on a non-linear regression analysis of the experimental data. The model was used to determine the allowable compressive capacity of an SBCC to provide guidance for engineering applications.

A novel, inexpensive, and easy-to-use strain sensor using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)  was developed. The sensor consists of a microchannel that is partially filled with a coloured liquid and embedded in a piece of PDMS. A finite element model was developed to optimize the geometry of the microchannel to achieve higher sensitivity. The highest gauge factor that was measured experimentally was 41. The gauge factor was affected by the microchannel’s square cross-sectional area, the number of basic units in the microchannel, and the inlet and outlet configuration. As a case study, the developed strain sensors were used to measure the rotation angle of the wrist and finger joints.

Abstract Hollow concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) member is mainly adopted in power transmission and transformation structures, but when it is used in the superstructure with complex stress, the hollow CFST member has a low bearing capacity and is prone to brittle failure. To improve the mechanical performance of hollow CFST members, a new type of reinforced hollow high strength concrete-filled square steel tube (RHCFSST) was proposed, and its axial compression performance was researched. 18 finite element analysis (FEA) models of axially loaded RHCFSST stub columns were established through FEA software ABAQUS. The whole stress process of composite columns was studied, and parametric studies were carried out to analyze the mechanical performance of the member. Parameters of the steel strength, steel ratio, deformed bar and sandwich concrete strength were varied. Based on the simulation results, the stress process of members can be divided into four stages: elastic stage, elastoplastic stage, descending stage and gentle stage. With the increase of steel strength, steel ratio, the strength of sandwich concrete and the addition of deformed bars, the ultimate bearing capacity of members also increases. Additionally, the increment of those parameters will improve the ductility of the member, except for the sandwich concrete strength.

Corrosion of reinforcing steel causes cracking and spalling of concrete structures, reduces the effective cross-sectional area of the reinforcing steel and the concrete simultaneously decreases the bond strength at the steel-concrete interface. The detrimental effect of corrosion on the service life of reinforced concrete structures highlights the need for modeling of bond strength between the corroded steel and the concrete. This research presents a nonlinear finite element model for the bond stress at the steel-concrete interface for both uncorroded and corroded reinforcing steel. The nonlinear finite element program ABAQUS is used for this purpose. The expanded volume of corroded product of reinforcing steel produces radial and hoop stresses which cause longitudinal cracks in the concrete. The increased longitudinal crack width, the loss of effective cross-sectional area of the steel and the concrete is also reduced due to the lubricating effect of flaky corroded layer. This research models the loss of contact pressure and the decrease of friction coefficient with the mass loss of the reinforcing steel. The model analyzes the pullout tests of Amleh (2002) and a good agreement is noted between the analytical and the experimental results. Both in FE analysis and experimental results, the loss of bond capacity is almost linear with mass loss of rebar. FE analysis and experiemental result show that, up to 5% mass loss, the bond capacity loss is moderate, at 10 to 15% mass loss, significant amount of bond capacity is lost and at about 20% mass almost all bond capacity is lost. The model is also validated by analyzing the pullout tests performed by Cabrera and Ghoddoussis (1992) and those by Al-Sulaimani et al.(1990).
