Abstract

SummaryPartially encased composite (PEC) members are becoming increasingly popular because of their high strength and suitability for prefabrication and assembly. Corrugated steel plate has higher out‐of‐plane stiffness than flat steel plate. When it is combined with concrete, the bonding between corrugated steel plate and concrete is more obvious than that between flat steel plate and concrete. For this reason, a new type of corrugated web PEC column (CPEC column) was proposed in this paper, and its eccentric compression performance was studied by experiment and numerical method. Nine specimens were tested, of which two were subjected to axial compression and seven were subjected to eccentric compression. The key factors considered in the experiment were the loading direction, load eccentricity, link spacing, and width‐to‐thickness ratio of flange. A three‐dimensional finite element model of the CPEC columns was established and verified, and the influence of the wave angle of corrugated web on the behavior of CPEC columns under eccentric compression was investigated using a parametric study. Finally, the current design codes for estimating the interaction curve and bearing capacity of CPEC columns were assessed.
