This paper consists of two parts; the first part describes the laboratory work concerning the behavior of lightweight aggregate concrete filled steel tubes (LACFT). Based on eccentricity tests, fifty-four specimens with different slenderness ratios (L/D= 3, 7, and 14) were tested. The main parameters varied in the test are: load eccentricity; steel ratio; and slenderness ratio. The standard load-strain curves of LACFT columns under eccentric loading were summarized and significant parameters affecting LACFT column's bearing capacity, failure mechanism and failure mode such as confinement effect and bond strength were all studied and analyzed through the comparison with predicted strength of concrete filled steel tube columns (CFT) using the existing codes such as AISC-LRFD (1999), CHN DBJ 13-51-2003 (2003) and CHN CECS 28:90 (1990). The second part of this paper presents the results of parametric study and introduces a practical and accurate method for determination of the maximum compressive strength of confined concrete core ($f_{max}$), In addition to, the study of the effect of aspect-ratio and length-width ratio on the yield stress of steel tubes ( $f_{sy}$) under biaxial state of stress in CFT columns and the effect of these two factors on the ultimate load carrying capacity of axially loaded CFT/LACFT columns.

Existing research on confined concrete filled steel tubular (CCFT) columns has been mainly focused on static or cyclic loading. In this paper, square section CCFT and CFT columns were tested under both static and impact loading, using a 10,000 kN capacity compression test machine and a drop weight testing equipment. Research parameters included bonded and unbonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) wraps, with carbon, basalt and glass FRPs (or CFRP, BFRP, and GFRP), respectively. Time history curves for impact force and steel strain observed are discussed in detail. Experimental results show that the failure modes of specimens under impact testing were characterized by local buckling of the steel tube and cracking at the corners, for both CCFT and CFT columns, similar to those under static loading. For both static and impact loading, the FRP wraps could improve the behavior and increase the loading capacity. To analyze the dynamic behavior of the composite columns, a finite element, FE, model was established in LS-DYNA. A simplified method that is compared favorably with test results is also proposed to predict the impact load capacity of square CCFT columns.

Concrete-filled tubes (CFT), formed by an outer steel tube filled with plain or reinforced concrete inside, have been increasingly used these recent decades as columns or beam-columns, especially for tall buildings in seismic areas due to their excellent structural response. This improved behavior is derived from the effect of confinement provided by the tube, since the compressive strength of concrete increases when being subjected to hydrostatic pressure. In circular CFTs under compression, the whole tube is uniformly tensioned due to the radial expansion of concrete. Contrarily, in rectangular and square-shaped CFTs, the lateral flanges become subjected to in-plane bending derived from this volumetric expansion, and this fact implies a reduction of the confinement effect of the core. This study presents a numerical analysis of different configurations of CFT stub columns with inner stiffening plates, limited to the study of the influence of these plates on the compressive behavior without eccentricity. The final purpose is to evaluate the efficiency in terms of strength and ductility of introducing stiffeners into circular and square CFT sections under large deformation axial loading.

이 연구에서는 내진구조용 강재(SN)의 냉강롤성형된 각형강관을 사용한 CFT 부재의 중심축하중에 대한 구조성능을 평가한다. 일반적으로 냉간롤성형 및 냉간프레스형성으로 인하여 각형강관의 코너부와 평판부 모두 SN강재에 비해 재질변화가 발생하며, 항복강도와 인장강도 및 항복비의 상한치가 높아지는 경향을 나타낸다. 이러한 현상은 강관의 국부좌굴 이후의 비선형거동에 의해 영향을 주며, 이는 CFT 합성 부재와 같이 비선형해석모델에 대하여 영향을 미친다. 따라서 각형강관의 가공열화도를 평가하기 위하여 각형강관의 재료시험을 수행하였고, 세장비 및 판-폭두께비를 실험변수로 하여 일축 압축력을 받는 CFT부재의 구조성능을 평가하였다.

각형 CFT 기둥에 대한 실험 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구는 세장 단면의 고강도 강관을 적용한 CFT 기둥의 압축성능 평가하는 것이 주요 목적이다. 실험 변수는 강관의 판폭두께비, 콘크리트 강도, 강관 항복강도, 그리고 스티프너의 사용여부이다. 총 5개의 기둥 실험체에 대하여 중심압축 실험을 수행하였다. 고강도 강관을 적용한 실험체는 탄성국부좌굴이 발생하였지만, 높은 항복강도로 인하여 상당한 후좌굴강도를 발휘하였다. 또한, 실험결과는 현행 설계기준에 의한 예상강도를 대체로 만족하였다. 세장 단면의 고강도 강관에 스티프너를 보강할 경우 강도와 변형능력 면에서 우수한 구조성능을 발휘하였다.

본 논문에서는 고강도콘크리트충전 각형강관장주에 대한 실험결과와 탄소성해석결과를 비교분석했다. 실험체는 모두 고강도콘크리트 충전 각형강관장주로 18개를 제작하였으며, 편심비에 따라 중심 및 편심가력하였다. 본 연구의 주요 파라메타는 단면폭에 대한 유효좌굴 길이의 비($L_K$/D)= 4, 8, 12, 24, 30와 가력편심비(e)=0, k, 3k이다. 본 논문에서 고강도콘크리트 충전 각형강관장주의 내력에 관한 해석 및 실험을 통하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. $L_K$/D=12 이하의 고강도콘크리트충전 각형강관단주는 콘크리트 감소계수 $c{\gamma}u=0.85$를 고려한 전소성내역에 도달했으나, $L_K$/D=18 이상의 장주실험체는 콘크리트 감소계수를 고려한 전소성내력에 도달하지 않았다. 실험에 의한 고강도콘크리트충전 각형강관장주의 탄소성거동은 제안된 해석치의 종국내력$N_{ASSUMED}$과 비교적 양호한 접근을 보여주었다. 콘크리트 압축강도의 감소계수 $c{\gamma}u=0.85$를 고려하지 않은 CFT설계기준과 고강도 콘크리트를 충전한 각형강관기둥의 실험결과치는 비교적 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다.

For the construction of Top-Down structures, it is crucial to have a solid connection between prefounded columns and slabs. This paper presents a new construction method for the connection when using a circular Concrete Filled Tube (CFT) as a prefounded column as an alternative to currently using wide flange type columns. The development of shear studded jackets along with a shear band suitable for the circular shape of the column has been made. The details and mechanism of the connection is explained together with the results of experiments which verified the structural integrity of the connection.

The structure of Tower Palace III Sports Center building was designed as concrete Filled Steel Tube(CFT) Column and the filled-in concrete was designed as high compressive strength of 500kgf/$m_2$. The self compacting concrete(SCC, non-vibrating concrete) with 65$\pm$5cm flow must be applied to this case for filling the CFT by injecting the concrete from the column bottom. Laboratory tests and pilot productions of batcher plant were performed for optimum mix design and the full scale Mock-Up test was performed to check the appicability of the construction method. As a result, we observed that good quality SCC and the pressure change of concrete pump normally used domestically. Based on these results, we have constructed 20-40m height CFT columns successfully.

So far, square concrete filled tubular(CFT) columns have been used in a limited width thickness ratio. The reason is that local buckling occurs in steel tube easily. Once the local buckling occurs, the confinement effect of steel tube on concrete disappears. In this study, we developed welded built-up square steel tube with reinforcement which are placed at the center of the tube width acts as an anchor. 3 specimens of slender welded built-up square CFT columns and 3 specimens of slender welded built-up square steel tube columns were manufactured with parameters of width(B) of steel tube, width thickness ratio(B/t). we conducted a experimental test on the 6 specimens under eccentric load, and evaluated the structural resistance and behavior of 6 specimens.

Concrete-filled double skin steel tube (CFDST) beam-columns are widely used in industrial plants, subways, high-rise buildings and arch bridges. The CFDST columns have the same advantages as traditional CFT members. Moreover, they have lighter weight, higher bending stiffness, better cyclic performance, and have higher fire resistance capacities than their CFT counterparts. The scope of this study is to develop finite element models that can predict accepted capacities of double skin concrete-filled tube columns under the combined effect of axial and bending actions. The analysis results were studied to determine the distribution of stresses among the different components and the effect of the concrete core on the outer and inner steel tube. The developed models are first verified against the available experimental data. Accordingly, an extensive parametric study was performed considering different key factors including load eccentricity, slenderness ratio, concrete compressive strength, and steel tube yield strength. The results of the performed parametric study are intended to supplement the experimental research and examine the accuracy of the available design formulas.
