Abstract The axial capacity of light–gauge steel tube columns filled with concrete including recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) aggregates and recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) was investigated. A total of 51 specimens, including 6 bare steel tubes, 30 composite columns and 15 concrete-only columns were tested under uniaxial load. Fifteen concrete mixes were considered by replacing the weight of natural coarse aggregates (NA) with RCA and RAP at replacement levels of 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100%. In addition, RAP and RCA were combined in the same mixes with replacement levels of (1) 20% RAP and 80% RCA; (2) 40% RAP and 60% RCA; (3) 60% RAP and 40% RCA; and (4) 80% RAP and 20% RCA. Experimental results were analyzed by reporting the ultimate capacities and the patterns of failure. Moreover, the predictions of EUROCODE 4 (EC4) and American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) codes were checked. ABAQUS software was used to perform a finite element analysis (FEA) of the tested composite specimens. The results showed that using recycled aggregates decreased the carrying capacity of columns. Carrying capacity of light–gauge steel tubes filled with concrete including different combinations of RCA, NA and RAP aggregates can be conservatively predicted by the AISC and EC4 recommendations. Results of FEA showed a good agreement with the experimental results.

This paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation to determine the behavior of steel tubular columns filled with recycled aggregates concrete up to failure under constant axial compression loads. The experimental program included two steel tube columns, four recycled concrete columns and eight composite columns filled with different types of recycled coarse aggregates (granite and ceramic). Different percentages of recycled coarse aggregates: 0, 25 and 50 of the percentage of the coarse aggregates (dolomite) were used. The results of the numerical model that was employed by the finite element program, ANSYS, were compared with the experimental results. The results of the experimental study and the finite element analysis were compared with the design equations using different national building codes: AISC1999, AISC2005 and EC4. The results indicated that the recycled aggregates concrete infill columns have slightly lower but comparable ultimate capacities compared with the specimens filled with normal concrete.

This experimental study presents concrete-filled double-skin tubular columns and demonstrates their expected advantages. These columns consist of an outer steel tube, an inner steel tube, and concrete sandwiched between two tubes. The influence of the outer-to-inner tube dimension ratio, outer tube to thickness ratio, and type of inner tube material (steel, PVC pipe) on the ultimate axial capacity of concrete-filled double-skin tubular columns is studied. It is found that the yield strength of the inner tube does not significantly affect the ultimate axial capacity of concrete-filled double-skin tubular composites. With the replacement of the inner tube of steel with a PVC pipe, on average, less than 10% strength is reduced, irrespective of size and dimensions of the steel tube. Hence, the cost of a project can be reduced by replacing inner steel tubes with a PVC pipes. Finally, the experimental results are compared with the existing design methods presented in AISC 360-16 (2016), GB51367 (2019), and EC4 (2004). It is found from the comparison that GB51367 (2019) gives better results, followed by AISC (2016) and EC4 (2004).

Square Steel Tube

The concrete-filed square steel tube with inner I-shaped CFRP profiles short columns under bi-axial eccentric load were investigated by the finite element analysis software ABAQUS. The working mechanism of the composite columns which is under bi-axial eccentric load are investigated by using the stress distribution diagram of steel tube concrete and the I-shaped CFRP profiles. In this paper, the main parameters; eccentric ratio, steel ratio, steel yield strength, concrete compressive strength and CFRP distribution rate of the specimens were investigated to know the mechanical behavior of them. The interaction between the steel tube and the concrete interface at different characteristic points of the composite columns were analyzed. The results showed that the ultimate bearing capacity of the concrete-filed square steel tube with inner I-shaped CFRP profiles short columns under bi-axial eccentric load decrease with the increase of eccentric ratio, the ultimate bearing capacity of the composite columns increase with the increase of steel ratio, steel yield strength, concrete compressive strength and CFRP distribution rate. The contact pressure between the steel tube and the concrete decreased from the corner zone to the flat zone, and the contact pressure decreased from the mid-height cross section to other sections.

The Impact

Existing research on the widely used concrete-filled steel tubes is mainly focused on static or cyclic loading, and the studies on effects of high strain rate are relatively rare. In this article, seven stub concrete-filled steel tubular columns with square section were tested under both static and impact loads, using a large-capacity drop-weight testing machine. The research parameters were variable height of the drop-weight and different load types. The experimental results show that the failure modes of the concrete-filled steel tube columns from the impact tests are similar with those under static load, characterized by the local buckling of the steel tube. The time history curves of impact force and steel strain were investigated. The results indicate that with increasing impact energy, the concrete-filled steel tube stub columns had a stronger impact-resistant behavior. The dynamic analysis software LS-DYNA was employed to simulate the impact behaviors of the concrete-filled steel tube specimens, and the finite element results were reasonable compared with the test results. The parameter analysis on the impact behavior of concrete-filled steel tube columns was performed using the finite element model as well. A simple method was proposed to calculate the impact strength of square concrete-filled steel tube columns and compared favorably with experimental results.

Since the expansion of the cement during curing was constraint by the steel tube, the concrete core in the self-stressing concrete-filled steel tubes (SSCFST) is under tri-axially compression before applying load, which increases the axial capacity of the SSCFST. In addition, Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) wrapping can avoid bucking of the steel tube, increase the axial capacity and improve the durability of SSCFST. This study presents a theoretical study on axial capacity of the SSCFST wrapped with CFRP sheets. Several basic assumptions are proposed. The ultimate equilibrium method was employed to analyze the axial capacity, of which two limit states, including steel tube bucking and CFRP sheets rupturing were considered. The analytical results from an example show that the initial self-stress improves axial capacity of the SSCFST by about 30% and the CFRP reinforcement improves axial capacity by about 15%.

The objective of this paper is to provide the references through finite element analysis for steel tube concrete beams bearing capacity settlement. The paper verified the correctness of the constitutive relation of concrete, the correctness and the model through the establishment of the concrete damaged plasticity model with recycled concrete details in the finite element analysis software ABAQUS. Then the stress characteristics of steel pipe concrete beam in bending condition under different substitution rate could be found through model calculation. The result is that the mid span bending - strain curve from simulation agreed to the experimental results, and the model is proved correct. Finally it came to the conclusions. Other things being equal, the recycled concrete filled square tube changed a lot in bending state when the substitution rate grows, but it didn’t occur to the circular one. In the meantime, the writer proposed the conjecture on the bearing capacity calculation of the two types of structure.

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.
