“…In recent decades, steel-concrete composite structures, such as concrete-filled steel tubes (CFST) [1][2][3], steel-plate concrete beams [4][5][6], partially encased composite (PEC) columns [7][8][9][10], and steel-concrete composite frames [11,12], have received much attention [13][14][15]. Among them, the steel-concrete composite frame is currently a widespread structural system in multistory and high-rise buildings since it combines the advantages of both steel and concrete frames, thus leading to, in many cases, a reduction of costs and optimization of the structural performance [16,17].…”

Tensile stresses and cracks in concrete slabs induced by a hogging moment have always been a disadvantage of steel-concrete composite structures and key issue of concern in the design of such structures. To reduce the tensile stress and control the crack width of the reinforced concrete (RC) slab, a new type of connector, called the uplift-restricted and slip-permitted (URSP) connector has been proposed and successfully applied in the area subjected to a negative bending moment in steel-concrete composite bridges. The feasibility of the URSP connector in steel-concrete composite frame buildings is investigated in this study based on a comprehensive parametric analysis. The effects of URSP connectors on the cracking behavior, as well as the stiffness and strength of composite frames, are systematically analyzed using an elaborate finite element model, which resembles a typical composite beam-column joint subjected to both lateral loads and vertical loads. In addition, an optimized arrangement length of URSP connectors is proposed for practical design. The research findings indicate that the application of URSP connectors greatly improves the crack resistance of RC slabs without an obvious reduction of the ultimate capacity and lateral stiffness of the composite frame. It is recommended that the distribution length of URSP connectors at each beam end should be 20–25% of the frame beam length.

“…The damage caused by buildings subjected to impact or earthquake is enormous, and therefore it is of great importance to investigate the behavior of the structure after impact load. Zhang et al [20] investigated the seismic damage of spatial frames with steel beams connected to L-shaped CFST columns. There are numerous studies on the mechanical performance of the structure under the impact load.…”

Behavior of Circular CFST Columns Subjected to Different Lateral Impact Energy

et al. 2019

Forty-eight circular concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns subjected to lateral impact were tested to investigate the behavior of circular CFST columns under axial compressive load. Analyses of effects of concrete compressive strength, impact location and impact energy on residual ultimate axial capacity, ductility and initial stiffness are provided in this paper. It is found that lateral impact has negative effects on residual ultimate axial capacity of circular CFST columns from test results. Residual ultimate axial capacity decreases as impact energy increases and impact location comes close to the end of the specimen. It is also found that increasing concrete compressive strength can reduce the negative effects of impact location on residual ultimate axial capacity. Ductility and the initial stiffness of circular CFST columns decrease as impact energy increases. Ductility and the initial stiffness increase as impact location varies from middle-length to the end of specimens. When impact energy and impact location are constant, the ductility of the specimen with 30 MPa of concrete compressive strength is better than that of other specimens with different compressive strength. Besides, analyses of strain developments for 12 typical specimens to investigate failure modes under axial compressive load are provided in this paper. Strain developments have indicated that the steel at impact location becomes plastic faster than that at other locations. Based on the test results, a calculation formula is presented to predict the residual ultimate axial capacities of circular CFST columns subjected to lateral impact, and good agreement with experimental results has been achieved.

“…One area of our future work is to consider corrosion in the study of hysteretic behavior of the overlapped K-joints with the concrete filled in chord. Using piezoceramic transducers, scholars have conducted research on damage detection of concrete structures [52,53], especially in concrete filled tubular structures [54][55][56]. In future work, the authors will explore the health monitoring of the K-joints with concrete filled in chord by using piezoceramic transducers.…”

Due to the insufficient radial stiffness of the steel tube, the cracking of the weld and the plastic deformation of the string often occur under the cyclic loading of the hollow section pipe joint. In order to avoid such a failure, the overlapped K-joints were strengthened by pouring different concrete into the chords. Furthermore, to explore the detailed effect of filling different concrete in a chord on the hysteretic behavior of the overlapped K-joints, six full-scale specimens were fabricated by two forms, which included the circular chord and braces, the square chord and circular braces, and the low cyclic loading tests, which were carried out. The failure modes, hysteretic curves and skeleton curves of the joints were obtained, and the bearing capacity, ductility and energy dissipation of the joints were evaluated quantitatively. The results showed that plastic failure occurs on the surface of the chord of the joints without filling concrete, while the failure mode of the joints filled with concrete in the chords was the tensile failure of the chords at the weld of the brace toe, and the compressive braces had a certain buckling deformation; The strengthening measures of concrete filled with chord can effectively improve the mechanical properties of the K-joints, the delay of the plastic deformation of the chord, and improve the bearing capacity of the K-joints. Contrarily, the ductility coefficient and the energy dissipation ratio of K-joints decreased with the concrete filled in the chord. The hysteretic behavior of the K-joints with a circular chord and brace was slightly better than that of the K-joints with a square chord and circular brace, and the hysteretic behavior of the K-joints strengthened with fly ash concrete, which was better than that of the K-joints strengthened with ordinary concrete. The results of ANSYS (a large general finite element analysis software developed by ANSYS Company in the United States) analysis agreed well with the experimental results.
