Based on the compression characteristics of the concrete-filled thin-walled square steel tube short columns, the U-shaped tie bars are designed in this paper. The U-shaped tie bars and steel pipe walls are connected with each other in T-shape in order to enhance the local stability of the walls under pressure. According to the concrete strength C30/C35/C40 and the thickness of the steel plates 1.25mm/1.75mm/2.5mm,42 short-column specimens are made, and the size of all specimens is 200mm×200mm×690mm.The bearing capacity test is done by the 500-ton electro-hydraulic serve testing machine. The strain of U-shaped tie bar and thin-walled steel are tested, and then the whole curve of compression process is obtained. The results show that the U-shaped tie bar has a very good role in bonding, and has good effects on improving buckling mode and the ductility of the components significantly. Concrete-filled thin-walled square steel tube short column fixed U-shaped tie bar has advantages on stronger post- deformability and more applicable to configuration compared with existing research achievements, and can provide a reference for engineering design.

Axial compression tests were carried out on 6 square steel tube confined concrete short columns and 6 BFRP square pipe confined concrete axial compression tests. The concrete strength grades were C30, C40, and C50. The test results show that the failure modes of steel pipe and BFRP pipe are obviously different, and the BFRP pipe undergoes brittle failure. Compared with the short columns of concrete confined by BFRP pipes, the ultimate bearing capacity of axial compression is increased by -76.46%, -76.01%, and -73.06%, and the ultimate displacements are -79.20%, -80.78%, -71.71%.

By introducing the reduction coefficient of concrete strength and the equivalent restriction reduction coefficient,the non-uniform confinement force of square steel tube to its core concrete is turned to that of equivalent circular steel tube. Then the ultimate load calculation formula for the solid multibarrel tube-confined concrete short columns (CHS inner and SHS outer) is derived based on the Unified Strength Theory(UST),in which the double restriction effect and the decrease of longitudinal stress because of the hoop tensile tension are considered. The influence of intermediate principal stress on the ultimate load is studied and the failure mechanism is discussed. The applicability of the formulas is testified and the results show that the formulas have significance in exerting material potential.

The method of construction about the concrete-filled thin-walled square steel box short columns is studied in this paper. Composite steel is designed inside of the concrete-filled thin-walled square steel box short columns. The use of the transverse steel bars’ constraining effect on the concrete and bonding effect on the walls enhances the local stability and bearing capacity of the wall. According to the concrete strength C30/C35/C40 and the thickness of the steel 1.25mm/1.75mm/2.5mm,42 short column specimens are made and the size of all specimens is 200mm×200mm×690mm.The static bearing capacity test is done by the 500-ton electro-hydraulic serve testing machine. The whole curve is made .The composite steel and the thin-walled steel’s strain is tested. The results show that this method of construction has a certain effect on constrainting concrete and bonding effect on the walls, significantly improving their mechanical properties, increasing the carrying capacity and ductility, and it is easy to be accomplished.

This study investigates the suitability of the circularization technique for strengthening square concrete-filled square steel tube (CFSST) short columns. A total of 16 specimens were tested under axial compression. The main parameters under investigation were concrete strength, the thickness of arc cement mortar layer components (CAM), and the layers of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. Test results indicated that the failure mode of CFRP-confined circularized CFSST (C-C-CFSST) columns was similar to that of CFRP-confined concrete columns. The CFRP-confined circularized strengthening method can increase confinement efficacy and reduce the stress concentration at the corners of CFSST columns. Three existing CFRP-confined concrete stress-strain models were evaluated using the test results. The predictions of the Lam and Teng stress-strain model agree well with the test data.

Circular thin-walled elastic tubes under concentric axial loading usually fail by shell buckling, and in practical design procedures the buckling load can be determined by modifying the local buckling stress to account empirically for the imperfection sensitive response that is typical in Donnell shell theory. While the local buckling stress of a hollow thin-walled tube under concentric axial compression has a solution in closed form, that of a thin-walled circular tube with an elastic infill, which restrains the local buckling mode, has received far less attention. This paper addresses the local buckling of a tubular member subjected to axial compression, and formulates an energy-based technique for determining the local buckling stress as a function of the stiffness of the elastic infill by recourse to a transcendental equation. This simple energy formulation, with one degree of buckling freedom, shows that the elastic local buckling stress increases from 1 to [Formula: see text] times that of a hollow tube as the stiffness of the elastic infill increases from zero to infinity; the latter case being typical of that of a concrete-filled steel tube. The energy formulation is then recast into a multi-degree of freedom matrix stiffness format, in which the function for the buckling mode is a Fourier representation satisfying, a priori, the necessary kinematic condition that the buckling deformation vanishes at the point where it enters the elastic medium. The solution is shown to converge rapidly, and demonstrates that the simple transcendental formulation provides a sufficiently accurate representation of the buckling problem.

In this paper, using ABAQUS, 16 high-strength concrete filled high-strength square steel tube middle-long columns’ axial compression process were simulated. The load-deflection relationships were obtained and the new combination in improving the bearing capacity and plastic deformation has a great advantage. Realization of length variation slenderness ratio by changing the length of column, this paper also study the influence of slenderness ratio, the main parameters of the high-strength concrete filled high-strength square steel tube middle-long column. It is found that both bearing capacity and the plastic capacity are associated with slenderness ratio.

Abstract Hollow concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) member is mainly adopted in power transmission and transformation structures, but when it is used in the superstructure with complex stress, the hollow CFST member has a low bearing capacity and is prone to brittle failure. To improve the mechanical performance of hollow CFST members, a new type of reinforced hollow high strength concrete-filled square steel tube (RHCFSST) was proposed, and its axial compression performance was researched. 18 finite element analysis (FEA) models of axially loaded RHCFSST stub columns were established through FEA software ABAQUS. The whole stress process of composite columns was studied, and parametric studies were carried out to analyze the mechanical performance of the member. Parameters of the steel strength, steel ratio, deformed bar and sandwich concrete strength were varied. Based on the simulation results, the stress process of members can be divided into four stages: elastic stage, elastoplastic stage, descending stage and gentle stage. With the increase of steel strength, steel ratio, the strength of sandwich concrete and the addition of deformed bars, the ultimate bearing capacity of members also increases. Additionally, the increment of those parameters will improve the ductility of the member, except for the sandwich concrete strength.
