Abstract
This paper presents a finite element analysis (FEA) modeling to study the flexural performance of circular concrete-filled thin-walled steel tubular (CFST) beam. A set of test data was used to verify the FEA modeling; generally, good agreement was achieved. The FEA modeling was then used to investigate the stress and strain distributions across the composite section in the whole loading procedure. The composite action between the steel tube and its concrete core was analyzed. A strut–tie model was proposed for the load transfer mechanism of the circular composite member subjected to pure bending.
