Abstract This paper studies the contribution of CFRP (carbon fiber-reinforced polymer) to the mechanical behavior of high strength concrete-filled square steel tube (HCFST) under biaxial eccentric compression. The new type of composite member is composed of an inner CFRP tube and an outer steel tube with concrete filled in the two tubes. The finite element analysis was made by ABAQUS on the behavior of high strength concrete filled square steel tubular columns with inner CFRP circular tube subjected to bi-axial eccentric loading. The results obtained from the finite element analysis were verified with the experimental results. 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 >
