The objective of this study is to investigate the structural behavior of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Column-H Beam connections with plate stiffeners. The first, we made experiment on the Column to H-beam flange connections stiffened with simple tensile loading. The paramaters of tensile experiment are the area of each plates. The simple tensile experiment is conducted to 5 kinds of specimens. Eestimating the load, displacement, and strain from each kind, we compared them with results of second experiment. The second, we made experiment on the Column to H-beam connections stiffened with the sames under monotonic and cyclic load. we made specimens of 5 for the second experiment. In analysis, comparing each strengthes and stiffnesses we estimated deformation capacity. Comparing and estimating each yielding strength ratios and maxium-strength ratios on the basis of Yield line theory, we suggested new Strength Formula of Beam-to-Column Connections.

Maximum-strength concrete-ailed steel square tubular columns were tested under concentric and biaxial eccentric load. Buckling length-section depth ratio $L_k/D$, magnitude of eccentricity e, and angle of eccentric load ${\theta}$ were selected as experimental parameters. Strength and behavior were also examined. Test results showed that the maximum strength of columns under biaxial eccentric load could be predicted using the previously proposed strength formula of columns under uniaxial eccentric load. Likewise, the behavior and maximum strength of columns could be predicted using the analysis.

Existing tube for concrete filled tubular structure is made through welding of four plates irrespective of tube thickness, so production performance is poor and special welding technique is needed to weld the internal diaphragm and through the diaphragm. Therefore, through manufacturing by cold forming development of beam to column connections that is no welding in position of stress concentration is needed. In this study the proposal of beam to column connections details and to making tube specimens by method of bending steel plates, we want to know the compositeeffect between internal anchor and concrete by processing on stress distribution and internal force evaluation of concrete filled tube beam to column connections with a variable of flange welding existence between column and beam, welding quantity between column and diaphragm, existence of concrete in tube, column with diaphragm and general column.

It researched several jointing-methods of frame consisting of a concrete-filled steel tubular column and H-shaped beam. These beam-to-column connections is parameters to following: columns of square shape pipe infilled with or without concrete, joints assembled two types of diaphragm, outside-type and through-type. And it is testing that cyclically lateral loadings used hydraulic ram. In testing. we'll be on purposed to estimate the hysteretic behavior, strength and stiffness, energy absorption capacity, deformation capacity and failure configuration of each specimen. It is concluded that the frame specimens with outside-type are more stable and exhibit more energy absorption capacity compared with the through-type, in column of filled with concrete.

Concrete Filled steel Tube(CFT) Column has an excellent structural capacities in accordance with an interaction effect between the steel tube and concrete. Recently, CFT structure has been focussed on a structural system for a high-rise buildings. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a strength and deformation capacity of CFT square columns subjected to constant axial and cyclic lateral load. The test parameters are diameters to thickness ratio of steel tube, axial load ratios, concrete strengths, load applying types and whether or not filled concrete. Total sixteen specimens are fabricated to clarify the energy absorbtion capacity of CFT columns. Experimental results are summarized for maximum strength, initial stiffness and deformation capacity.

Square hollow section columns and H-section beams have recently been increasing1y used. Rigid column-beam connections cannot be made for the structural system and thus some measures to improve the rotational stiffness of connections should be developed. For this purpose, several types of connections. such as H-section beams connected to concrete-filled square hollow section columns, have been contrived and put to experiment. Since the experimental works are usually difficult and expensive. Particularly test of all the types of connections with similar behavior may not be feasible. Instead, the numerical analysis will be adopted predict the flexural stiffness of connections. In this work, FEM modeling techniques are examined and parametric analysis study has been carried out. The major parameters considered are concrete strength, thickness of steel column, magnitude and eccentricity of axial forces.

The concrete filled steel tubular column have to superior in compressive load carrying capacity, compared with same section typed hollow steel tube column, and have many excellent structural properties, such as stiffness improvement by filled concrete, improvement of ductility by reinforced effect of local buckling, and the like. However, it has not clear the effect of interaction between steel tube and filled concrete, stress portion ratio and fracture mechanism of concrete. This study investigated to structural properties for high strength concrete filled steel tube column by loading conditions through a series of experiments. Especially, this study investigated the properties of structural behaviors for concrete filled steel tube column stress ratio by loading conditions and failure mechanism of filled concrete.

In this paper, 18 square CFT columns filled with high-strength concrete were tested under concentric or eccentric axial loading. Two parameters of the experimental program included the buckling length-section depth ratio ($L_K$/D) and the eccentricity of the appled compressive load (e). In additon, mechanical properties such as the compressive concrete strength and compressive and tensile steel strength were measured and incorporated into the material models for the stress-strain relationships of concrete and steel. This model was used in an elasto-plastic analysis in order to predict the behavior of the slender CFT columns. Observtions of the failure mode during the tests under axial loadig were also presented. The strengths obtained from the analysis. Recommendations for Design, and Constructions of CFT structures were presented, as verified by the experimental results.

The aim of this research is to evaluate the fire resistance of concrete-filled steel square tube columns (square CFT columns) under constant axial loads by numerical analysis. The authors examined the experimental results on the fire resistance of concrete-filled steel square tube columns without fire protection. As the materials of CFT columns, steel of SPSR 400 grade and concrete of 27.5MPa and 37.8MPa strengths were used. The significant parameters were determined, such as load ratio, cross-sectional dimensions, and concrete strength. Detailed analytical simulations of fire resistance and axial deformation showed good agreement with the experimental observations. Therefore, this numerical analysis exhibited a reasonable estimation of fire resistance of the square CFT column. Results of the numerical parametric studies showed that the fire resistance of the CFT columns increased with the decrease of the concrete strength and the increase of the cross-sectional dimensions about the constant axial load ratio ($N/N_c$).

Experimental and analytical work was conducted to investigate the relations of axial force and deformational capacity of concrete-filled square steel tube columns. The test series consisting of 36 columns were tested under the constant axial load and horizontal cyclic load. The axial force of the columns that resisted under the cyclic lateral load was defined as a certified strength of limit axial force. The analytical model was defined as a cantilever beam-column. The axial force of the beam-column that resisted under the cyclic lateral load was defined as an accumulated certified strength of limit axial force. The purpose of this study is to investigate the certified strength of limit axial force of concrete-filled steel tube beam-columns, which were subjected to both axial and lateral load condition corresponding to a given constant rotation angle. Another purpose of this study is to discuss the comparison of the certified strength of limit axial force of concrete and the accumulated certified strength of limit axial force of concrete-filled steel tube columns.
