Abstract
Concrete-filled tubular (CFT) columns are being more and more utilized in construction of tall buildings and bridges. The CFT column system, which has been proved to have excellent load carrying capacity and ductility, by static and simulated seismic loading tests, also has good dynamic impact behaviour. The impact resistance of small-size micro-concrete-filled steel tubes under axial impact load at elevated temperatures up to 400°C was experimentally studied by using a spilt Hopkinson pressure bar. The stress and strain time history curves of the tested specimens were recorded to analyze the impact behaviour of CFT at elevated temperatures. The failure patterns and the influence of temperature on the impact resistance of CFT are discussed. The test results show that CFT has an excellent impact resistant capacity at elevated temperatures and the dynamic behaviour of core concrete under high temperatures was discovered. A simplified calculation method to determine the impact resistant capacity of CFT at elevated temperatures is presented, which is validated by the tested results.
