The concrete-filed square steel tube with inner I-shaped CFRP profiles short columns under bi-axial eccentric load were investigated by the finite element analysis software ABAQUS. The working mechanism of the composite columns which is under bi-axial eccentric load are investigated by using the stress distribution diagram of steel tube concrete and the I-shaped CFRP profiles. In this paper, the main parameters; eccentric ratio, steel ratio, steel yield strength, concrete compressive strength and CFRP distribution rate of the specimens were investigated to know the mechanical behavior of them. The interaction between the steel tube and the concrete interface at different characteristic points of the composite columns were analyzed. The results showed that the ultimate bearing capacity of the concrete-filed square steel tube with inner I-shaped CFRP profiles short columns under bi-axial eccentric load decrease with the increase of eccentric ratio, the ultimate bearing capacity of the composite columns increase with the increase of steel ratio, steel yield strength, concrete compressive strength and CFRP distribution rate. The contact pressure between the steel tube and the concrete decreased from the corner zone to the flat zone, and the contact pressure decreased from the mid-height cross section to other sections.

Based on the characteristics of the special-shaped concrete-filled steel tubes and consideration of material nonlinearity of constitutive relation, stimulation of 6 T-shaped thin-walled ribbed and un-ribbed concrete-filled steel tube short columns is implemented, as well as comparable analysis of stress, strain, displacement and bearing capacity, through the finite element analysis software ANSYS. The result indicates that the rib can effectively improve the ductility, delaying the buckling occurs, which enhances the core concrete confinement effect, so as the stimulated ultimate bearing capacity which is greater than nominal ultimate bearing capacity.

The new composite structure concrete-filled square steel tube (CFST) column with inner CFRP profiles is proposed. A finite element model is presented to investigate the mechanical behavior of CFST short columns with internal CFRP profiles subjected to axial compression using ABAQUS based on reasonable constitutive models of materials. In a addition, the content of CFRP profiles and width thickness ratio of steel tube’ effect are considered on mechanical properties of the column. Based on the model, the whole stage of axial compression of the short columns, failure mode and the stress mechanism of the ultimate bearing capacity state are calculated and analyzed.

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.

Based on experimental research, the bearing performance of the new column (steel tube-reinforced concrete composite columns combination strengthened with angle steel and CFRP) has been studied in detail by finite element method. A finite element model is established based on a series of assumption. The load-displacement curves are obtained. The influence of steel ratio and thickness of CFRP layers to the bearing capacity is analyzed too. The result shows that both the steel ratio and the thickness of CFRP layers have great contribution to the axial load capacity. The finite element analysis results and theoretical analysis which are in good agreement show that simulation results are generally right.

In this paper, axial compressive loading test and non-linear finite element analysis of 10 short composite-sectioned concrete filled steel tubular column specimens are introduced. The test results indicate that the failure modes of all the specimens are similar, the specimens have high axial compressive strength and large deformation capacity. The calculated axial compressive strength of the specimens, assuming that the circle steel tube provides the lateral confinement to the core concrete and the square steel tube provides compressive strength without contributing lateral confinement to the concrete, has good agreement with the measured strength. The vertical load-strain curves, the axial compressive strength and the failure mode obtained by the non-linear finite element analysis of specimens have good agreement with the test results.

By testing the Axial compression performance of the Block of concrete short columns regenerated by No rib and steel ribbed thin-walled square and simulating the finite element program ANSYS calculation ,we are going to reveal the square steel tube regeneration block of mixed component axial compressive deformation and failure mode ,and analyze the longitudinal force and the strain relationship of the longitudinal direction and the horizontal direction as well as the effect on forcing performance and failure mode of specimen played by the combined concrete force of fresh concrete. The results showed that the main failure mode of specimen is crushed drum-type damage. In the elastic state, all the strain growth in the middle section and the corner is self and growth of longitudinal strain of the two is relatively consistent. On damaging stage, the specimen without ribs is softened, while the specimen with ribs shows a feature of stiffening. The results of finite element analysis fit the test results well.
