Most of the previous studies on concretefilled steel hollow section columns at high temperatures addressed the effect of depth-tothickness ratio, column slenderness, initial applied load level, load eccentricity, and local buckling of concrete-filled steel tubes on the fire resistance of these columns. For this reason, it important and required to study the influence of the axial and rotational restraint on the buckling behavior of these types of columns subjected to fire. The results of a series of fire resistance tests on these types of columns inserted in a steel frame are presented and discussed in this paper. The primary test parameters taken into account were column slenderness, type of section geometry, and axial and rotational restraint level imposed by a surrounding steel frame to the columns. The specimens were then uniformly exposed to the ISO 834 standard fire curve, and the critical time (fire resistance), failure temperature distribution and respective failure modes were assessed. Finally, the results of this research study showed most of all that the fire resistance of identical semi-rigid ended columns may be not significantly affected by the stiffness of the surrounding structure but, on the contrary, their post-buckling behavior may be affected.

This paper aims to investigate the buckling behavior of circular hollow section (CHS) T-joints in retrofitted and non-retrofitted states under axial brace compressive loading. For this purpose, two types of analysis are carried out. The first one is evaluating the critical buckling load in various tubular joints, and the other one is investigating the post-buckling behavior after each buckling mode. More than 180 CHS T-joints with various normalized geometric properties were numerically modeled in non-retrofitted state to compute their governing buckling mode, i.e., chord ovalization, brace local, or global buckling. Then three joints with different buckling modes were selected to be retrofitted by fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) patches to illustrate the improving effect of the FRP wrapping on the post-buckling performance of the retrofitted joints. In addition, FRP composite failures were investigated. The results indicate that the FRP retrofitting is able to prevent the brace local buckling, and that matrix failure is the most common composite failure in the retrofitted joints.

High strength steel sections have been increasingly used in buildings and bridges, and steel angles have also been widely used in many steel structures, especially in transmission towers and long span trusses. However, high strength steel exhibits mechanical properties that are quite different from ordinary strength steel, and hence, the local buckling behavior of steel equal angle members under axial compression varies with the steel strength. However, there is a lack of research on the relationship of the local buckling behavior of steel equal angle members under axial compression with the steel strength. A finite element model is developed in this paper to analyze the local buckling behavior of steel equal angle members under axial compression, and study its relationship with the steel strength and the width-to-thickness ratio of the angle leg. The finite element analysis (FEA) results are compared with the corresponding design method in the American code AISC 360-05, which provides a reference for the related design.

In a seismic incident, the structural steel columns are commonly damaged with local buckling formulation at either the top or bottom ends. This study analyzes and simulates the hysteretic behavior of a hollow square steel column under cyclic loading by adopting the fiber-element approach. This method discretizes the hinge zone into a series of fibers and considers buckling behavior of those fibers along the column wall. The analytical result was achieved in good agreement with the component test.
