Parameter Analysis on Bearing Capacity of Concrete-Filled Square Steel Tubular Column to Steel-Encased Concrete Composite Beam Joint with through Diaphragm

Abstract

A new type of concrete-filled square steel tubular column to steel-encased concrete composite beam joint is proposed. In order to study the influences of parameters on bearing capacity for the joint formed plastic hinge in the beam end, nonlinear finite element analysis under monotonic loading is conducted by software ANSYS. The results show that axial compression ratio has little influence on joint bearing capacity, and with the increasing of it, the bearing capacity is enhanced slightly. The height of U-shape steel has a significant impact on joint bearing capacity, and with the rise of it, the bearing capacity is enhanced obviously. The thickness of U-shape steel has a comparatively obvious effect on joint bearing capacity with certain limits, and with the growth of it, the bearing capacity of the joint is also grown observably. The diameter of longitudinal reinforcement in the flange slab of beam has some effects on joint bearing capacity, and with the improvement of diameter, the bearing capacity is achieved.
