An innovative beam-to-column composite joint with adapter-bracket was proposed and its behavior was investigated through finite element analysis. The special adapter-bracket is to facilitate the assembly of the steel box beam and the concrete-filled steel tube column through high-strength blind bolts. In the adapter-bracket, two endplates are welded to the beam and bolted to the column, respectively. First, two finite element models of the bolted extended endplate joint were developed in ABAQUS and validated by available experimental results. Then, based on modified models, parametric analyses were conducted to evaluate the novel joint performance, in terms of the initial stiffness, rotation capacity, moment capacity, failure mode, and joint classification. The variables included flange thickness, endplate thickness, and bolt size. Results demonstrated that the joint behavior was significantly affected by the flange thickness, the endplate-A thickness, and bolt size while slightly influenced by the endplate-B thickness. Additionally, these joints had favorable rotation and moment capacity.


Concrete Filled Steel structures (CFST) offers wide benefits like high strength, ductility, and energy absorption with the combined benefits of steels and concrete. It also reduces the complexity of the production, as it does not require the shuttering of work, and so it is not commonly used. In addition to CFST elements, are more efficient, and allow for rapid construction and cost savings due to the elimination of the shape and material of component part. Concrete-filled-steel-tube is currently gaining more and more popularity in the construction industry. Concrete-filled-steel-tube it is a component of a good performance, as a result of the impact of the steel and holds it with concrete, and the question of structural diversity. In this paper, it presents a study of the evolution of the load carrying capacity, used for the connection of a variety of sizes and shapes, with a different position. The composite action of steel and concrete there is a need for a strong bond between the steel and concrete interface. Analysis of CFST column using the Finite element method and the numerical study is done on the selected case under axial loading condition.
