Concrete-filled special-shaped (L-shaped, T-shaped, and cross-shaped, and etc.) steel tube column is a type of member in which concrete is poured into special-shaped steel tube so that steel and concrete support loads together. It improves the seismic behaviors of reinforced concrete special-shaped columns due to the better confining effects provided by the steel tube. A test research on the seismic behaviors of one concrete-filled T-shaped steel tube column with pseudo static method is presented and the load-displacement curve and skeleton curve are provided. Series of steel bar stiffeners were welded onto the steel tube in order to postpone the buckling of steel tube and to enhance confining effects. A numerical analysis program was developed using a fiber-based method. The constitutive model of concrete employed the modified Mander model, and that of steel employed a bi-linear model considering the Bausinger effect. The numerical analysis program was verified by the test results and parametric analysis was carried out, in which the influences of the ratio of axial compression stress to strength, steel tube thickness and concrete strength were mainly discussed. The following conclusions are obtained: with the increase of the ratio of axial compression stress to strength, the bearing capacity of member increases and the energy dissipation capacity improve, while the ductility deteriorates. With the increase of steel tube thickness, the initial rigidity, bearing capacity, ductility and energy dissipation capacity improves simultaneously. With the increase of concrete strength, the bearing capacity increases, the energy dissipation capacity improves, while the ductility deteriorates.

This paper studies the effect of high-strength steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) on the axial compression behavior of rectangular-sectional SFRC-filled steel tube columns. The purpose is to improve the integrated bearing capacity of these composite columns. Nine rectangular-sectional SFRC-filled steel tube columns and one normal concrete-filled steel tube column were designed and tested under axial loading to failure. The compressive strength of concrete, the volume fraction of steel fiber, the type of internal longitudinal stiffener and the spacing of circular holes in perfobond rib were considered as the main parameters. The failure modes, axial load-deformation curves, energy dissipation capacity, axial bearing capacity, and ductility index are presented. The results identified that steel fiber delayed the local buckling of steel tube and increased the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the columns when the volume fraction of steel fiber was not less than 0.8%. The longitudinal internal stiffening ribs and their type changed the failure modes of the local buckling of steel tube, and perfobond ribs increased the ductility and energy dissipation capacity to some degree. The compressive strength of SFRC failed to change the failure modes, but had a significant impact on the energy dissipation capacity, bearing capacity, and ductility. The predictive formulas for the bearing capacity and ductility index of rectangular-sectional SFRC-filled steel tube columns are proposed to be used in engineering practice.

Recycled concrete is a kind of new construction materials, and now received more and more attention from researchers and engineers, since its application in engineering projects can well cater to the increasing requirements of development for economic and environment-friendly society. Based on the pseudo static test of five recycled reinforcement concrete frame columns with different experimental axial compression ratios from 0.3 to 0.65, their failure modes, failure mechanism, hysteretic behavior, skeleton curves, bearing capacity, rigidity, ductility and energy dissipation capacity were discussed. Some possible influence factors and disciplines were also selected and analyzed. The study indicates that recycled reinforcement concrete frame columns in the case of relative low axial compression ratios usually exhibited similar and steady mechanical properties with common concrete columns. With the increase of axial compression ratio, its ductility and energy dissipation capacity are decreased and destruction forms tended to obvious brittle fracture, though its bearing capacity could slightly rise. The test results and analysis also manifest recycled concrete had expectative application potentials in most case.

The seismic behaviors of steel reinforced ultrahigh strength concrete (SRUHSC) frames with different axial compression ratios and shear span ratios are experimentally studied through the reversed cyclic loading test of four specimens. The test results reveal that the seismic response of the frame is closely related to the failure process and failure mode of the columns. Based on the results, a systematic exploration is further conducted in terms of the characteristics of the skeleton curve, hysteresis curve, strength degradation, stiffness degradation, and energy dissipation capacity of the structure. The results indicate that as the axial compression ratio increases, and the shear span ratio decreases, the failure process of the entire structure and the weakening of the beam end are accelerated. Meanwhile, a change of the failure mode is also observed, accompanied by corresponding changes in the strength, stiffness, and energy dissipation capacity of the system.

The pseudo-static tests were carried out on seven steel reinforced recycled concrete columns. The main parameters of specimens were recycled aggregate replacement ratio, axial compression ratio and volumetric stirrup ratio. The results indicate that the incorporation of recycled aggregate doesnt reduce the horizontal bearing capacity, ductility and the energy dissipation capacity of specimens and has little effect on seismic performance. The seismic performance of steel reinforced recycled concrete column decreases significantly in the high axial compression ratio. The ductility, horizontal bearing capacity and the energy dissipation capacity of the steel reinforced recycled concrete column increase with a rise in the volumetric stirrup ratio. This study provides a reference on the application of the steel reinforced recycled concrete column.

To understand mechanical characteristics and seismic behaviors of T-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) joints, cyclic loading tests were carried out on four 1/2-scale exterior joints of top floor. The study includes joints’ mechanical character, failure mode, hysteretic behavior, ductility, energy dissipation and stiffness degradation under different height of beam and different axial compression ratios. The results indicate that frame joints satisfy the design principle of stronger joints and weaker components. The hysteretic loops are plump, ductility and energy dissipation capacity is better than that of ordinary reinforced concrete joints. Axial compression ratios can influence seismic behaviors of frame joints to some degree.

The hysteretic behaviors of concrete filled steel tube columns under low cyclic loads were analyzed for verification the accumulated energy dissipation performance. The accumulated ductility coefficient influencing factors, such as slenderness ratio, axial compression ratio and sectional steel ratio, were analyzed. It is indicated that these columns have a better energy dissipation capacity. The energy dissipation capacity decreases with the axial compression ratio increasing, but the influence of slenderness ratio and steel ratio to accumulated ductility coefficient is not clear, this is because the influence of difference loading system.

Inclined concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns in a diagrid structure system can efficiently carry large vertical loads and horizontal forces. This paper presents an experimental study of the stress characteristics of engineered inclined CFST columns under axial cyclic loading. Ten specimens were tested, including two hollow steel tube (HST) columns and eight CFST columns, and the influences of loading scheme, aspect ratio, concrete strength, and steel ratio were examined. The seismic behaviours were investigated, including mechanical behaviour, failure modes and hysteretic curves, and ductility, and the interaction between the steel tube and concrete was examined as well. Better ductility and energy dissipation capacity are achieved in the tension direction, whereas higher bearing capacity and stiffness are achieved in the compression direction. Compared with hollow steel tube columns, the supporting effect of concrete on the steel tube for CFST columns in tension and the restraining effect of the steel tube on concrete for CFST columns in compression ensure higher capacity, deformability, and energy dissipation capacity.

An experimental study on the steel tube confined reinforced concrete (STCRC) column with binding bars under axial compression is conducted. The bearing capacity and failure modes are obtained. It can be known that the axial deformation of concrete occurred under compression. The core concrete is wrapped and constrained by the steel tube wall, and the steel tube wall is constrained by binding bars locally, so the local buckling shape of the wall between the binding bars is like wave shape. The 3D finite element model is also developed to analyze the behavior of this type of column under axial compression. Good agreement is shown between the test and predicted results in terms of the load-deformation curves and ultimate strength. The parametric studies indicate that the spacing of binding bars, diameter of longitudinal bars, concrete strength, thickness of the steel tube wall, and section dimension of the column generate different influence on the mechanical properties and bearing capacity. The diameter of longitudinal bars, concrete strength, and section dimension of the column have a great effect on the ultimate bearing capacity. The numerical results also show that the spacing of binding bars has little effect on the ultimate bearing capacity. The larger thickness of the steel tube wall leads to adverse effect on the specimen performance. Finally, the theoretical calculation is carried out, and the result is good.
