Numerical Analysis on Steel Reinforced Concrete Beam-Concrete Filled Steel Tubular Column under Cyclic Loading

Abstract

The nonlinear behavior of the full scale test of the composite joint between steel reinforced concrete beam and concrete filled steel tubular column under low cyclic reversed loading are simulated by using finite element software ANSYS. A separated model was used, element concrete solid 65, element shell 181 and element link 8 were used to model concrete material, steel members and steel bars respectively. The numerical analysis results are compared with the data of the experimental research. The advantages and shortcoming of the finite element model are given. A better numerical simulation method and a use for reference to the similar case are expected to be afforded.
