Abstract
A nonlinear finite-element analysis (FEA) model was developed in this paper based on the elastoplastic finite-element theory to analyze the load versus deformation relation of steel beam to concrete-filled steel tubular column connections. Six tests on steel beam to concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) column connections using external ring after exposure to the ISO-834 standard fire were used to verify the theoretical model. The test parameters included the column cross-sectional type, the fire duration time, the level of axial load in the column, and the beam-column strength ratio. Each test specimen consisted of a CFST column and two steel beam segments in cruciform arrangement to represent an interior joint in a building. Three of the six composite connection specimens had circular cross sections and three had square cross sections. Five of the test specimens were simultaneously exposed to the standard ISO-834 fire condition. After they had cooled down to room temperature, each was tested under a cons...
