Research on Machanical Behavior of T-Shaped Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Stub Columns with Steel Bone

Abstract

Concrete-filled steel tube structure is one of the important load-bearing systems of modern high-rise building.The research indicate that concrete-filled steel tube structure has a good static and seismic performance,and concrete-filled steel tubular component is always used as axial compression and compression-bending component.However,what about the mechanical behavior of this combinational structure (concrete-filled steel tubular columns with steel bone built-in)? So there is a new type of special-shaped cross-section of composite structure,that is the T-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular columns with steel bone.The research about this structure is less throughout domestic and foreign.So the axial compressive experiments of six T-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns, five with and one without steel bone, were carried out. The effects of tube confining factor, bone indicator on the axial compressive behavior of the columns are analyzed. Experimental results indicate that the ultimate strength of the T-shaped steel tubular stub columns with steel bone increases, can be increased by 71.7%.And that the setting of steel bone improves the confinement of the concrete core, delays or even avoids the local buckling of the steel tube before the stress attains the yield strength. The ductility of the columns is also greatly increased.And at last in this paper, use of static equilibrium conditions and limit yield conditions,and in reference to literature[1],the calculation equation of compression capacity of this combinational column is derived.Moreover,calculation results according to the formula in this paper are in good agreement with the experimental results. The conclusions might be used as reference to structural design and plan.
