Abstract

Based on a quasi-static test on six concrete-filled double skin steel tube columns subject to cyclic pure torsion, the torsion behavior of concrete-filled double skin steel tube columns with various section types, hollow ratios and steel ratios was studied. The failure modes, torsion-rotation angle hysteretic curves and strain distribution law of concrete-filled double skin steel tube columns under reversed cyclic loading are obtained. The test results show that the hysteretic curves of concrete-filled double skin steel tube columns under pure torsion are plump. The unloading stiffness was close to the initial elastic stiffness. The good energy dissipation capacity of concrete-filled double skin steel tube columns can be observed. Under a cyclic torsion moment, the torsion-resistance capacity of circular concrete-filled double skin steel tube columns was better than that of square and rectangular concrete-filled double skin steel tube columns. With the same thickness of the inner steel tube and the same section size and shape, the hollow ratio of concrete-filled double skin steel tube columns has little effect on the cyclic torsion behavior.
