Abstract
This paper presented a numerical investigation into the dynamic responses and residual axial bearing capacity of square concrete-filled double-skin steel tube (CFDST) columns under lateral impact using ABAQUS. The finite element analysis (FEA) model for lateral impact and post-impact axial compression of square CFDST members was established, where the material nonlinearity and strain rate of steel tubes and concrete were considered and validated by existing experiments and studies. Based on the verified FEA model, the failure mechanism of the impact response process of the square CFDST member was revealed. To further explore the behavior of CFDST under axial compression after lateral impact, the typical axial load-axial displacement curves, axial strains of the steel tube, failure mode, and stress development of different components of the members were analyzed in depth. Parametric studies were conducted to clarify the influence of each parameter (including hollow ratio, slenderness ratio, concrete strength, and steel strength) on the residual capacity of post-impact axial compression in square CFDST members at different impact energies. Results demonstrated a linear correlation between residual axial bearing capacity coefficient and mid-span residual deflection after impact. Finally, a simplified formula for calculating the residual axial bearing capacity of square CFDST columns after lateral impact was proposed, which provided a reference for practical engineering applications.
