Abstract
This paper proposes a novel type of steel angle-corrugated steel plate-confined concrete column (SA-CS column). The axial compression behavior of the SA-CS column was investigated by load experiments and finite element (FE) simulation. The study also compared the load–displacement curves, core concrete strength index, and specimens’ ductility indices between the SA-CS columns and concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns. The results indicated that the mechanical properties of the SA-CS column were better than those of the CFST column with a similar steel ratio. The rationality and reliability of the finite element model were confirmed by comparing the experimental results’ load–displacement curves and failure modes. Based on the FE model, a supplementary parametric analysis of the effects of the compressive strength of core concrete, thickness, yield strength, and wave height of the corrugated steel plate, thickness, and yield strength of the steel angles was conducted. Moreover, some existing design codes were assessed based on the numerical results available in this study. A new calculating model for the SA-CS column was proposed, which is capable of reasonably predicting the numerical results.
