This article investigates the behaviour of slender concrete-filled steel tube square columns strengthened by concrete-filled steel tube jacketing. The columns were realised by placing a square outer steel tube around the original slender concrete-filled steel tube column and pouring strengthening concrete into the gap between the inner and outer steel tubes. Three concrete-filled steel tube square columns and seven retrofitted columns ranging from 1200 to 2000 mm were tested to failure under axial compression. The experimental parameters included three length-to-width ( L/ B1) ratios, three width-to-thickness ( B1/ t1) ratios and three strengths of concrete jacket (C50-grade, C60-grade and C70-grade). Experimentally, the retrofitted columns failed in a similar manner to traditional slender concrete-filled steel tube columns. After strengthening, the retrofitted columns benefitted greatly from the component materials, with their load-bearing capacity and ductility notably enhanced. These enhancements were mainly brought about by sectional enlargement and good confinement of concrete. A finite element model was developed using ABAQUS to better understand the axial behaviour of the retrofitted specimens. A parametric study was conducted, with parameters including the length of the column, thickness of the outer steel tube, strength of the concrete jacket, yield strength of the outer steel tube, thickness of the inner steel tube and strength of the inner concrete. Furthermore, the finite element model was adopted to study the behaviour of rust-damaged and post-fire slender concrete-filled steel tube square columns strengthened by square concrete-filled steel tube jacketing. A modified formula was proposed to predict the load-bearing capacity of retrofitted specimens, and the numerical results agreed well with the experiments and the finite element results of undamaged, rust-damaged and post-fire specimens. It could be used as a reference for practical application.

In this article, a new type of reticulated joint, named the steel–concrete composite reticulated shell joint, is proposed. The proposed reticulated shell joint consists of an inner circular steel pipe, an outer circular steel pipe, a steel cover plate, and internal concrete. Five test specimens were tested under axial compression. The variable study included the wall thickness of the inner and outer circular steel pipes and the radius of the inner circular steel pipe. The test specimens exhibited a high bearing capacity and good plastic deformation ability under axial compression. The test results show that the wall thickness of the outer circular steel pipe and the radius of the inner circular steel pipe have a great influence on the bearing capacity of the steel–concrete composite reticulated shell joint, while the wall thickness of the inner circular steel pipe has little influence on the bearing capacity of the steel–concrete composite reticulated shell joint. Based on the test of the steel–concrete composite reticulated shell joints under axial load, the three-dimensional nonlinear finite element model was used to analyze the mechanical properties of the steel–concrete composite reticulated shell joints under axial compression. The results of the finite element analysis showed good agreement with the experimental results. The formula for calculating the bearing capacity of the joint is derived. By comparing with the experimental results, the calculated results are basically consistent with the experimental results.

This paper aims to put forward a new method of strengthening the existing bridges with narrow decks and low bearing capacity to overcome the high cost and pollution problems in dismantling them. The method, strengthening bridges by built stringers and cross beams, is by widening some parts of a bridge. Based on the basic theory of finite element, we have set up an analysis model of strengthening the bridges by widening, which helps to demonstrate the rationality of this method. Meaningful conclusions have been drawn from the parameter analysis of the rigidity of the new widening stringers, the rigidity of the new cross beams and the relative settlement of the new and the old foundations. This method can be referenced by the reinforcement and maintenance of medium and small bridges.

The objective of this paper is to provide the references through finite element analysis for steel tube concrete beams bearing capacity settlement. The paper verified the correctness of the constitutive relation of concrete, the correctness and the model through the establishment of the concrete damaged plasticity model with recycled concrete details in the finite element analysis software ABAQUS. Then the stress characteristics of steel pipe concrete beam in bending condition under different substitution rate could be found through model calculation. The result is that the mid span bending - strain curve from simulation agreed to the experimental results, and the model is proved correct. Finally it came to the conclusions. Other things being equal, the recycled concrete filled square tube changed a lot in bending state when the substitution rate grows, but it didn’t occur to the circular one. In the meantime, the writer proposed the conjecture on the bearing capacity calculation of the two types of structure.

Tube-plate joint is a frequently-used joint type in steel-tube tower, but the theoretical analysis and experimental investigation on tube-plate joint are absent both at home and abroad. In this paper, the ANSYS finite element program was used to simulate the bearing capacity and deformation condition of tube-plate joint with 1/2-stiffening ring. Eight calculation models were designed, and the width-thickness ratio was changed by changing the width or thickness of stiffening ring. The results indicate that the influence of different width-thickness ratio on tube-plate joint bearing capability is significant. By increasing the width or increasing the thickness of stiffening rings to improve the bearing capacity of the joint is a very effective way.

Buried corrugated steel culverts are universally regarded as a structure with strong deformation adaptability and dispersed the upper load by corrugated steel structures surrounding soil constraints to enhance the carrying capacity and the use of soil-structure interaction. A lot of factors influence the earth pressure of the buried corrugated steel culvert, such as culvert stiffness, physical characteristics of the backfill (bulk density, deformation modulus and internal friction angle), geometry of structure and backfilling height. The finite element program of ANSYS has been used to research the elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, internal friction angle of soil, inertia moment of corrugated steel plate and pipe diameter affect the rigidity and flexibility of buried corrugated steel culvert. By defining path lines in the finite element post-processing, extracting and comparing the horizontal and vertical directions soil displacements along the lines, and doing impact pa-rameter analysis. Classification for flexible and rigid pipes of the buried corrugated steel pipe culvert structure has been made according to the analysis results. A theoretical reference has been provided for the design and construction of the buried corrugated steel pipe culverts.

Steel beams with sinusoidal corrugated webs are known since the middle of the last century. Their bearing capacity is widely studied, the design rules of these beams are included in the existing regulations, such as "Standards European Committee for Standardisation (CEN): DIN EN 1993:2007-02, Eurocode 3: Bemessung und Konstruktion von Stahlbauten - Teil 1-5: Aus Blechen zusammengesetzte Bauteile", SNiP RK 5.04-23-2002 "Steel Structures. Design Standards." and SP 16.13330.2017 "SNiP II-23-81* Steel Structures". However, there is still an open question about the bearing capacity of sinusoidal corrugated webs of beams with holes bordered with steel sleeves to ensure the stability of the wall. In this paper, a method for calculating beams with sinusoidal corrugated webs, weakened by round and square holes, which are bordered by pipes is proposed. To develop this method of calculation a numerical experiment was conducted. A number of finite element models of such beams with varying web thickness, beam length, diameter and hole location were created and analyzed using the finite element method. ABAQUS computer complex was used for calculations. The result of the research conducted is a technique that makes it possible to determine the bearing capacity of sinusoidal corrugated webs of beams with round and square holes, bordered by pipes. To confirm the theoretical calculations, full-scale tests were carried out.

A new composite strengthening method that the CFST short column was strengthened with concrete filled steel tube was presented. Through the finite element analysis of five specimens with strengthening circular concrete filled steel tube columns and a specimen without strengthening circular concrete filled steel tube to explore the impact of the outer layer of concrete strength grade, external pipe wall thickness for the ultimate bearing capacity of concrete filled steel tube columns. The results show that with the increase of the outer pipe wall thickness, double concrete filled steel tube column yield strength and ultimate strength have increased. As the outer concrete strength grade increased as the specimen bearing capacity increased. When the concrete strength grade greater than C40, the improvement of concrete strength for specimen ultimate bearing capacity is not great.
