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.

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.

The maximum longitudinal strain of specimens of CCSSC is less than the corresponding value of the longitudinal strain of NCSSC.

The improvement effect of the external concrete to stability of the core steel-tube was demonstrated by the steel-tube replacement ratio through experimental study. The test results show that, with the steel-tube replacement ratio increasing, the ultimate bearing capacity of composite columns increased correspondingly, and the ductility of composite columns was improved obviously also. Therefore, the steel-tube replacement ratio should be involved in the formula for calculating the ultimate bearing capacity of composite columns. By finite element method and regression analysis, the slenderness ratio is amended by the steel-tube replacement ratio and the calculation results of the eccentric compression bearing capacity agreed well with the test results.

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 experimental results show that all the specimens of CCSSC have higher post-fire bearing capacity and better ductility, and there was no descent segment in load-displacement curves of the most specimens after the fire load was subjected. 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 the concrete mix proportion has some effect on both of bearing capacity and ductility of CCSSC subjected to fire load.

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.

To investigate the applicability of the methods for calculating the bearing capacity of high-strength steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) composite columns according to specifications and the effect of confinement of stirrups and steel on the bearing capacity of SRC columns. The axial compression tests were conducted on 10 high-strength SRC columns and 4 ordinary SRC columns. The influences of the steel strength grade, the steel ratio, the types of stirrups and slenderness ratio on the bearing capacity of such members were examined. The analysis results indicate that using high-strength steel and improving the steel ratio can significantly enhance the bearing capacity of the SRC columns. When the slenderness ratio increases dramatically, the bearing capacity of the SRC columns plummets. As the confinement effect of the stirrups on the concrete improves, the utilization ratio of the high-strength steel in the SRC columns increases. Furthermore, the results calculated by AISC360-19(U.S.), EN1994-1-1-2004 (Europe), and JGJ138-2016(China) are too conservative compared with test results. Finally, a modified formula for calculating the bearing capacity of the SRC columns is proposed based on the confinement effect of the stirrups and steel on concrete. The results calculated by the modified formula and the finite element modeling results based on the confinement effect agree well with the test results.

At present, the relevant researches of Glulam columns in China are mainly restricted to short columns. In order to study the mechanical properties of long columns under axial loading, an experimental study on five different slenderness ratios of Larch Glulam columns was carried out. With slenderness ratio changing, the variations of experimental data such as axial strain, lateral deflection at mid-height, ultimate bearing capacity, and peak strain were comparatively analyzed. The failure pattern and failure mechanism of long columns were discussed. The results indicate that the ultimate bearing capacity of Larch Glulam columns gradually decreases as the slenderness radio increases and the failure mode is gradually converted from strength failure to instability failure. The ultimate load reduction factor is obtained by regression analysis based on the experiment results of Larch Glulam short columns. The basis for design and application of Larch Glulam columns are provided.

This paper carries out a series of experimental study on 6 column specimens, analyses and compares with the different parameters on the axial loading tests of RC columns and RC columns strengthened with steel tube. The experimental results show that the RC columns strengthened with steel tube take full advantage of loading properties of both materials, thus greatly improve the bearing capacity of specimens. With the same wall thickness steel tube, the improving degree of bearing capacity of long columns is bigger than the short columns, and the reinforcement effect is more obvious. The experimental results can offer reference for scientific research and engineering staff, and promote this reinforcement method to be widely used in engineering practice.
