Abstract When the upper chord beam of the beam-string structure (BSS) is made of concrete-filled steel tube (CFST), its overall stiffness will change greatly with the construction of concrete placement, which will have an impact on the design of the tensioning plans and selection of control measures for the BSS. In order to accurately obtain the bending stiffness of CFST beam and clarify its impact on the mechanical properties of composite BSS during construction, the influence of some factors such as height-width ratio, wall thickness of steel tube, elasticity modulus of concrete, and friction coefficient on More >

Abstract Structural health monitoring employs different tools and techniques to provide a prediction for damages that occur in various structures. Damages such as debond and cracks in concrete-filled steel tube column (CFST) are serious defects that threaten the integrity of the structural members. Ultrasonic waves monitoring applied to the CFST column is necessary to detect damages and quantify their size. However, without appropriate signal processing tools, the results of the monitoring process could not be crucial. In this research, a monitoring process based on a Multiphysics numerical simulation study was carried out. Two signal processing tools:… More >

Abstract This paper presents a theoretical analysis for the time-dependent nonlinear behaviour and buckling of shallow concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) arches under a sustained central concentrated load. The virtual work method is used to establish the differential equations of equilibrium for the time-dependent behaviour and buckling analyses of shallow CFST arches, and the age-adjusted effective modulus method is adopted to model the creep behaviour of the concrete core. Analytical solutions of time-dependent displacements and internal forces of shallow CFST arches are derived. It has been found that under a sustained central concentrated load, the deformations and… More >

Abstract Based on analysis of the hysteretic experimental results of the concrete filled circular CFRP-steel tubular (C-CFRP-CFST) beam-columns, it shows that the deflection curves of all the specimens are close to half sinusoidal shape. The steel tube and the CFRP material can work concurrently both in longitudinal and transverse directions. Additionally, the longitudinal strain and the transverse strain at a same point have opposite action. Analysis indicates that there is no strength degradation. The axial compression ratio and strengthening factor of the longitudinal CFRP can enhance the strength and the stiffness of the members and they More >

Abstract This paper concentrates on the compressive strength of steel tube in Concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) column. Through an elasto-plastic limit analysis based on Twin Shear Unified Strength Theory (TSUST), the vertical load capacity of the steel tube alone was analyzed by adopting a parameter b, which varies from 0 to 1. And the strength reduction factor has been derived by total theory of plasticity. A new analytical formula, capable of predicting the axial bearing capacity of the CFST stub columns subjected to axial compression, has been developed based on the linear approximation of Mises yield More >
