In the system of preventing progressive collapse, the joints always play a key role in catenary action and alternate load path while the joints are usually under the combination of bending moment and tensional force. In this combination, high rotation capacity and good resistance of joints are demanded. In this paper, a new type of semi-rigid joint used in the structures with concrete-filled square steel tube (CFST) columns is proposed and developed by ABAQUS. The new type joint is suitable for the classification for semi-rigid connection; The bending moment resistance of the joint decreases linearly with the increase of tensional force; reducing pretension force reasonably is beneficial for the tensional force to develop “catenary action”; the width of short leg of angle would influence the moment resistance of the joint evidently; the initial rotation stiffness is not affected by width of leg dramatically.

The results of a four points bending test on a box girder are presented. The experiment is part of series of tests with similar configuration but with different thickness and span between frames. The present work refers to the slenderest plate box girder with a plate's thickness of 2 mm but with a short span between frames. The experiment includes initial loading cycles allowing for partial relief of residual stresses. The moment curvature relationship is established for a large range of curvature. The ultimate bending moment (UM) of the box is evaluated and compared with the first yield moment and the plastic moment allowing the evaluation of the efficiency of the structure. The postbuckling behavior and collapse mode are characterized. Comparison of the experiment with a progressive collapse analysis method is made taking into consideration the effect of residual stresses on envelop of the moment curvature curve of the structure.

Based on Ježek method of computing the elastic-plastic buckling of the member under the axial compressive load and the bending moment, the analytical expressions of calculating the ultimate load of buckling about the neutral axis with the moment of inertia for a square steel tube column are derived. By degenerated into the analytical expressions of the rectangular column and compared with the values of the finite element analysis (FEA) method, it shows that the analytical method in this paper is valid, which provides a new method of theoretical study for the elastic-plastic buckling of the member.

In recent years, the progressive collapse of buildings increases the interest in progressive collapse studies. If a key column fails in structure, the internal force is redistributed by the catenary action of joint to prevent its progressive collapse. The joint connecting to the failed column is under the state of bending moment combined with tensional force and the tensional force would affect the moment-resistance ability and ductility of joint. In this paper, the finite element software ABAQUS is applied to analyze the behavior of composite joints under the state of bending moment combined with tensional force. The effects of rebar ratio, rebar strength, concrete strength, etc., on the behavior of joints are investigated. The results show that high strength steel is suggested to be used in composite joint to improve its bending moment capacity and tensional capacity.

The results of a four points bending test on a box girder are presented. The experiment is part of series of tests with similar configuration but different thickness, spacing between longitudinal stiffeners and span between frames. The present work refers to the stockiest plate box girder with a plate’s thickness of 4 mm and a span between frames of 800 mm. The experiment includes initial loading cycles allowing for residual stresses relief. It also includes a series of cycles close to collapse load allowing the analysis of linear characteristic at high levels of load. The moment curvature relationship is established for a large range of curvatures. The ultimate bending moment of the box is evaluated and compared with the first yield moment and the plastic moment allowing the evaluation of the efficiency of the structure. The post buckling behavior and collapse mode are characterized. Comparison of the experiment with a progressive collapse method is made taking into consideration the effect of residual stresses on envelop of the moment curvature curve of the structure.

Based on the principle of restrained concrete, this paper presents a new-type concrete filled steel tubular column-slab joint. This new-type joint is characterized by keeping the concrete floor slab continuous while breaking the steel tube of the column for the joint, thus joining the slab and the concrete filled steel tubular(CFST) columns at the top and the bottom of the slab. The joint has the advantage of transferring loads dependably, constructing conveniently and saving on the cost. Three groups of experiments (21 specimens contained) were performed to test the safety of the joint and investigate its axial bearing capacity. The results show that the joint is dependable and feasible in engineering applications. In addition, this paper studies the working mechanism and mechanical properties of the joint under axial compression, discusses the factors to influence its axial bearing capacity, and finally brings out the formula of the joint’s bearing capacity under axial compression that adapts to engineering applications, which conservatively evaluate the result of the experiments.

Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns are widely used in construction of high-rise buildings and peers of bridges to increase the lateral stiffness of the buildings, the axial load capacity, ductility, toughness, and resistance of corrosion of the columns. The CFST columns have much superior characteristics compared with traditionally reinforced concrete columns. The position of the concrete and steel tube in the cross-section of the CFST column is the most appropriate solution in terms of the strength and ductility. The steel tube, which is placed outside of the cross-section of the column, withstand the bending moment effectively. The concrete that is placed into the steel tube delay the local buckling of the steel tube and increase the axial load capacity of the column due to continually lateral confining. This paper presents a review on experimental results of the axial behavior of CFST columns performed by various researchers.

Columns of frame structures are the key load-bearing components and the exterior columns are susceptible to attack in terrorist blasts. When subjected to blast loads, the columns would suffer a loss of bearing capacity to a certain extent due to the damage imparted, which may induce the collapse of them and even cause the progressive collapse of the whole structure. In this paper, the high-fidelity physics-based finite element program LS-DYNA was utilized to investigate the dynamic behavior and damage characteristics of the widely used concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns subjected to blast loads. The established numerical model was calibrated with test data in open literatures. Possible damage modes of CFST columns under blast loading were analyzed, and the damage criterion based on the residual axial load capacity of the columns was adopted to assess the damage degree. A parametric study was conducted to investigate the effects of critical parameters such as blast conditions and column details on the damage degree of CFST columns. Based on the numerical simulation data, an empirical equation was proposed to estimate the variation of columns damage degree with the various parameters.

Постановка задачи. Для железобетонного покрытия промышленного здания с пролетами 30 м и шагом осей 18 м предлагается подстропильная балка ступенчато-переменного сечения. Необходимо разработать алгоритм расчета прочности, трещиностойкости и деформативности для нового вида конструкции - железобетонной балки двутаврового сечения переменно-ступенчатой высоты. Результаты. Выполненные расчеты показали, что принятое распределение жесткостей по длине подстропильной балки, опирание ее на спаренные колонны и жесткое соединение смежных частей обеспечивают ей достаточную прочность и высокую жесткость. Выводы. Предложена и научно обоснована новая подстропильная конструкция - двутавровая балка ступенчато-переменной высоты для покрытий большепролетных одноэтажных промышленных зданий. Написанная программа расчета позволяет увеличивать число участков различной высоты и добиваться лучшего соответствия жесткостей балки эпюре изгибающих моментов. Это позволит создавать рациональные и экономичные проектные решения для промышленных зданий. Statement of the problem. For a reinforced concrete covering of an industrial building with spans of 30 m and an axis pitch of 18 m, a rafter beam of step-variable section is set forth. It is necessary to develop an algorithm for calculating the strength, crack resistance and deformability for a new type of structure - a reinforced concrete I-beam of variable-step height. Results. The performed calculations showed that the adopted distribution of stiffnesses along the length of the rafter beam, its support on paired columns and a rigid connection of adjacent parts provide it with a sufficient strength and a high rigidity. Conclusions. A new subrafter structure is set forth and scientifically substantiated - an I-beam of step-variable height for large-span one-storey industrial coatings. The proposed calculation program allows an increase in the number of sections of different heights and to achieve a better correspondence of the beam stiffnesses to the bending moment diagram. This will allow rational and economical design solutions to be created for industrial buildings.

This study aimed to investigate the moment carrying behavior of typical Tibetan timber beam-column joints under monotonic vertical static load and also evaluate the influence of length ratio of Gongmu to beam (LRGB) and dowels layout on the structural performance of the joint. Six full-scale specimens were fabricated with same construction but different Gongmu length and dowels position. The moment carrying performance of beam-column joints in terms of failure mode, moment resistance, and rotational stiffness of joints were obtained via monotonic loading tests. Test results indicated that all joints are characterized by compressive failure perpendicular to grain of Ludou. Additionally, it was found that greater LRGB leads to greater initial rotational stiffness and maximum moment of the joint by an increase of restraint length for beam end; however, offsetting dowels toward column resulted smaller stiffness and ultimate bending moment of joints, particularly, offsetting Beam-Gongmu dowels toward column changed the moment-rotation curve pattern of the beam-column joint, accompanied by a hardening stiffness at last phase. Furthermore, a simplified trilinear model was proposed to represent the moment-rotation relationship of the typical Tibetan timber beam-column joint.
