The post-fire behavior of a set of ceramsite concrete filled steel tubes (note as CCST) after exposure to fire are experimentally studied. Effect of the maximum value of fire response temperatures of the tubes and their geometric parameters on the strength and ductility of the specimens were especially discussed. The test results show that the specimens of CCST have higher post-fire bearing capacity and better ductility, there was no obvious descent segment in post-fire load-displacement curves of the most specimens subjected to fire load. It was concluded that the maximum response temperature of specimens has great effect on the post-fire bearing capacity of concrete-filled steel tubes subjected to fire load.

In order to look into the causes of fire response and post-fire bearing capacity of the steel tubular columns protected with different materials, the fire test was conducted for a set of circular steel tubes protected with different materials such as gypsum fireproof panel, bamboo plywood and the ordinary lumber core plywood, and the steel tube without any protective material. The fire response temperature of surface of steel tubes is measured and the axial compressive bearing capacity of the specimens after fire are tested and analyzed. The test results show that gypsum fireproof panel has the best fire protection characteristics, the ordinary lumber core plywood and bamboo plywood can also retard rising of the surface temperature of the steel tubes during the initial 35min although they are combustible materials. It is found that the post-fire bearing capacity of the steel tubes protected with different materials varies evidently, and the maximum value of response temperature has the greatest effect.

The post-fire axial compressive behavior of a set of steel fiber reinforced ceramsite concrete filled steel tubular short columns (noted as SFCC-SSC) was experimentally studied. Effect of the maximum value of fire response temperatures of the specimens and some parameters on the axial compression performance of the specimens was especially discussed. The results show that the surface of the steel tubes after fire presented dark red for 700°Cof furnace temperature and orange red for 900°C, and there was no obvious descending segment in post-fire load-displacement curves of the most specimens subjected to fire load. It was concluded that the axial bearing capacity of the specimens aftersuffering the furnace temperature of 900°C is much less than that of the specimens not subjected to fire load, and the volume of steel fiber of 0.5% of has the greatest effect on post-fire bearing capacity of specimens of SFCC-SSC.

Mechanical behavior and bearing capacity of ordinary concrete filled steel tubular short column (NCSSC) and ceramsite concrete filled steel tubular short column (CCSSC) subjected to fire load are experimentally investigated. Effect of the parameters, such as the maximum value of fire temperatures, fire duration on the strength and ductility of the two types of specimens were especially discussed. The test results show that both of the specimens of NCSSC and CCSSC after fire have higher bearing capacity and better ductility, there was no descent segment in load-displacement curves of the most specimens after the fire load was subjected, and even the case that bearing load increased again after descent segment arose. It was concluded that the maximum response temperature of specimens and fire duration time has great effect on the axial bearing capacity of concrete-filled steel tubular short columns subjected to fire, and there is a turning point of temperature for the influence.

Effect of the maximum value of fire response temperatures of the tubes and their geometric parameters on the strength and the other mechanical property of the specimens were especially discussed.

It was concluded that the maximum response temperature of specimens has great effect on the post-fire bearing capacity of self-stress concrete-filled steel tubes subjected to fire load, and the value of self-stress corresponding to 10% of dosage of expansive agent has the greatest effect on post-fire bearing capacity of specimens of SSLC-SSC.

In order to study the fire behavior of the profiled sheet-ceramsite concrete composite floor subjected to fire load, research on fire response and post-fire bearing capacity of a profiled sheet-ceramsite concrete composite floor subjected to dead load, which has no shearing nails, is carried out here through experiment. Based on the experimental results, the fire behavior and post-fire bearing capacity of the floor after exposure to fire are analyzed. It is shown that the failure form of the profiled sheet-ceramsite concrete composite floor after exposure to fire has obvious change compared with the floor not subjected to fire load, but the composite floor subjected to fire still exhibits higher bending capacity, and the ultimate value of the equivalent distributed load is up to 35kN/m2, which may be used as basis of strengthening and repairing of the profiled sheet-ceramsite concrete composite floor after exposure to fire.

Reactive powder concrete-filled steel tubes (RPCFSTs) have become an important research target in recent years. In engineering applications, RPCFSTs can provide superior vertical components for high-rise and tower buildings, thereby enabling developers to provide more floor space. However, this type of composite structure is prone to inelastic outward local buckling. The use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) wrapping to suppress such local buckling has shown great potential in limited test results. This paper presents experimental results concerning the axial compression of CFRP-confined reactive powder concrete-filled circular steel tubes (CF-RPCFSTs). We included 18 specimens in our experimental investigation, varying the number of CFRP layers, steel tube thickness, and RPC strength. According to our test results, CF-RPCFSTs exhibit compression shear failure and drum-shaped failure. The CFRP wrap can effectively enhance bearing capacity and postpone local buckling of the steel tube. In addition, three-layer CFRP-confined RPC-filled thin-wall steel tubes are suitable for engineering. We also propose a model to calculate the bearing capacity of CF-RPCFSTs. Compared to the existing model of CFRP-confined concrete-filled steel tubes, the results obtained using the proposed model are in good agreement with our experimental results.

The post-fire behavior of a set of steel fiber reinforced lightweight aggregate concrete filled steel tubular short columns (noted as SFLC-SSC) after exposure to fire was experimentally studied. Effect of the maximum value of fire response temperatures of the tubes and their geometric parameters on the strength and the other mechanical property of the specimens were especially discussed. The experimental results show that the specimens of SFLC-SSC have higher post-fire bearing capacity and better plastic deformation. It was concluded that the maximum response temperature of the specimens has great effect on the post-fire bearing capacity of steel fiber reinforced concrete-filled steel tubes subjected to fire load, and incorporation of 0.5% of volume of steel fiber is best for enhancing the axial compressive bearing capacity of the specimens of SFLC-SSC after exposure to fire.

The fire experiment was conducted for three of circular steel tubes protected with two different gypsum fireproof panel and the steel tube without any protective material. The fire response temperature of surface of steel tubes was measured and the axial compressive bearing capacity of the specimens after fire were tested and analyzed. The test results show that gypsum fireproof panel has better fire protection characteristics. It is noted that the variation of temperatures of inner surface of gypsum fireproof panel under fire is consistent with the temperature of outer surface of the steel tube. The maximum difference of temperature between the outer surface of the tube and the furnace space is 150°C as the fire keeps stable for the steel tube without any protection. It is concluded that two of the specimens protected with gypsum fireproof panel have larger post-fire capacity, which means that the gypsum fireproof panel has better effect on fireproof of the steel tube under fire.
