The existing CFT columns present the deterioration in confining effect after the yield of steel tube, local buckling and the deterioration in load capacity. If lateral load such as earthquake load is applied to CFT columns, strong shearing force and moment are generated at the lower part of the columns and local buckling appears at the column. In this study, axial compression test and beam-column test were conducted for existing CFT square column specimens and those reinforced with carbon fiber sheets (CFS). The variables for axial compression test were width-thickness ratio and the number of CFS layers and those for beamcolumn test were concrete strength and the number of CFS layers. The results of the compression test showed that local buckling was delayed and maximum load capacity improved slightly as the number of layers increased. The specimens' ductility capacity improved due to the additional confinement by carbon fiber sheets which delayed local buckling. In the beam-column test, maximum load capacity improved slightly as the number of CFS layers increased. However, ductility capacity improved greatly as the increased number of CFS layers delayed the local buckling at the lower part of the columns. It was observed that the CFT structure reinforced with carbon fiber sheets controlled the local buckling at columns and thus improved seismic performance. Consequently, it was deduced that the confinement of CFT columns by carbon fiber sheets suggested in this study would be widely used for reinforcing CFT columns.

Pure bending loading conditions are not frequently occurred in practical engineering, but the flexural researches are important since it's the basis of mechanical property researches under complex loading. Hence, the objective of this paper is to investigate the flexural behavior of concrete-filled rectangular steel tube (CFRT) through combined experimental and numerical studies. Flexural tests were conducted to investigate the mechanical performance of CFRT under bending. The load vs. deflection curves during the loading process was analyzed in detail. All the specimens behaved in a very ductile manner. Besides, based on the experimental result, the composite action between the steel tube and core concrete was studies and examined. Furthermore, the feasibility and accuracy of the numerical method was verified by comparing the computed results with experimental observations. The full curves analysis on the moment vs. curvature curves was further conducted, where the development of the stress and strain redistribution in the steel tube and core concrete was clarified comprehensively. It should be noted that there existed bond slip between the core concrete and steel tube during the loading process. And then, an extensive parametric study, including the steel strength, concrete strength, steel ratio and aspect ratio, was performed. Finally, design formula to calculate the ultimate moment and flexural stiffness of CFRTs were presented. The predicted results showed satisfactory agreement with the experimental and FE results. Additionally, the difference between the experimental/FE and predicted results using the related design codes were illustrated.

This research deals with thermo-electro-mechanical buckling analysis of the sandwich nano-beams with face-sheets made of functionally graded carbon nano-tubes reinforcement composite (FG-CNTRC) based on the nonlocal strain gradient elasticity theory (NSGET) considering various higher-order shear deformation beam theories (HSDBT). The sandwich nano-beam with FG-CNTRC face-sheets is subjected to thermal and electrical loads while is resting on Pasternak's foundation. It is assumed that the material properties of the face-sheets change continuously along the thickness direction according to different patterns for CNTs distribution. In order to include coupling of strain and electrical field in equation of motion, the nonlocal non-classical nano-beam model contains piezoelectric effect. The governing equations of motion are derived using Hamilton principle based on HSDBTs and NSGET. The differential quadrature method (DQM) is used to calculate the mechanical buckling loads of sandwich nano-beam as well as critical voltage and temperature rising. After verification with validated reference, comprehensive numerical results are presented to investigate the influence of important parameters such as various HSDBTs, length scale parameter (strain gradient parameter), the nonlocal parameter, the CNTs volume fraction, Pasternak's foundation coefficients, various boundary conditions, the CNTs efficiency parameter and geometric dimensions on the buckling behaviors of FG sandwich nano-beam. The numerical results indicate that, the amounts of the mechanical critical load calculated by PSDBT and TSDBT approximately have same values as well as ESDBT and ASDBT. Also, it is worthy noted that buckling load calculated by aforementioned theories is nearly smaller than buckling load estimated by FSDBT. Also, similar aforementioned structure is used to building the nano/micro oscillators.

This paper has focused on presenting vibration analysis of trapezoidal sandwich plates with 3D-graphene foam reinforced polymer matrix composites (GrF-PMC) core and FG wavy CNT-reinforced face sheets. The porous graphene foam possessing 3D scaffold structures has been introduced into polymers for enhancing the overall stiffness of the composite structure. Also, 3D graphene foams can distribute uniformly or non-uniformly in the plate thickness direction. The effective Young's modulus, mass density and Poisson's ratio are predicted by the rule of mixture. In this study, the classical theory concerning the mechanical efficiency of a matrix embedding finite length fibers has been modified by introducing the tube-to-tube random contact, which explicitly accounts for the progressive reduction of the tubes' effective aspect ratio as the filler content increases. The First-order shear deformation theory of plate is utilized to establish governing partial differential equations and boundary conditions for trapezoidal plate. The governing equations together with related boundary conditions are discretized using a mapping-generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method in spatial domain. Then natural frequencies of the trapezoidal sandwich plates are obtained using GDQ method. Validity of the current study is evaluated by comparing its numerical results with those available in the literature. It is explicated that 3D-GrF skeleton type and weight fraction, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) waviness and CNT aspect ratio can significantly affect the vibrational behavior of the sandwich structure. The plate's normalized natural frequency decreased and the straight carbon nanotube (w=0) reached the highest frequency by increasing the values of the waviness index (w).

이 연구는 새로운 형태의 FRP-콘크리트 합성말뚝인 하이브리드 CFFT(HCFFT)를 개발하는 과정의 일부이다. 이 논문에서는 CFFT와 HCFFT의 압축강도실험을 통하여 구조적 거동을 분석하였다. 압축강도실험에 앞서 PFRP와 FFRP 재료의 역학적 성질을 조사하였다. HCFFT 압축강도실험은 콘크리트 강도와 FFRP의 두께를 변수로 하여 실험을 수행하였다. 그리고, FFRP 두께를 변수로 PFRP를 제외한 CFFT 실험체를 제작하고 실험을 수행하여 HCFFT와 비교 분석하였다. 실험 결과, HCFFT의 압축강도는 CFFT에 비하여 11~47% 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 실험구간내의 필라멘트 와인딩 FRP 보강두께의 증가에 따른 HCFFT의 압축강도는 선형으로 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 실험체와 동일한 조건의 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과는 실험결과에 비하여 모든 시편에서 약간 작은 값을 보였으며, 0.14%에서 17.95%까지의 오차범위 내에 있음을 알 수 있었다.

복합소재는 화학적, 역학적인 면에서 여러 장점을 가지고 있다. 피로 저항성과 화학적 저항성이 높을 뿐 아니라, 비강도, 비강성 등이 높아서 높은 감쇠 특성을 보인다. 항만 구조물에 사용되는 파일은 압축 뿐만 아니라 휨을 받기도 하므로 이에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구는 대구경을 포함하는 콘크리트 충전 유리섬유 복합소재 파일의 압축 거동 혹은 휨-압축 거동을 분석한다. 지름 및 길이가 서로 다른 25개의 실험 파일을 제작하는데, 시편의 복합소재 튜브 내경은 165 mm에서 600 mm에 이르고, 길이는 1,350 mm에서 8,000 mm에 이른다. 수적층 및 필라멘트 와인딩 성형 공법을 모두 사용하여 튜브를 제작하여 적층의 구조가 미치는 차이를 알아보았다. 충전 콘크리트의 강도로는 27 MPa과 40 MPa를 사용하였다. 축방향 및 원주방향의 섬유의 부피비에 변화를 주어 각각의 영향을 분석하였고, 일부 시편에는 나선형 홈을 튜브 안쪽에 성형하여 충전 콘크리트와 튜브 사이의 전단변형을 줄이는데 기여할 수 있는지 분석하였다. 실험결과를 보면, 직포만을 사용하여 수적층 성형 공법으로 파일을 제작하는 것보다 필라멘트 와인딩 성형 공법을 이용하여 제작하는 것이 휨강성을 높이는데 훨씬 유리하다. 나선형 홈을 성형해서 넣더라고 휨강성은 낮은 하중단계에서 부터 지속적으로 감소하는 경향을 보이는 것으로 보아, 충전 콘크리트와 튜브 사이의 전단변형을 완전히 억제하지는 못하는 것으로 판단된다.

Twenty-two corrosion-damaged columns were simulated through accelerated steel corrosion tests. Eight specimens were directly tested to failure under axial load, and the remaining specimens were tested after concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) strengthening. This study aimed to investigate the damage of RC columns after corrosion and their restoration and enhancement after strengthening. The research parameters included different corrosion degrees of RC columns, diameter-to-thickness ratio of steel tube and the strengthening concrete strength. Experimental results showed that CFST strengthening method could change the failure mode of corrosion-damaged RC columns from brittleness to ductility. In addition to the bearing capacity provided by the strengthening materials, it can also provide an extra 26.7% amplification because of the effective confinement provided by steel tubes. The influence of corrosion on reinforcement and concrete was quantitatively analysed and considered in the design formula. The proposed formula accurately predicted the bearing capacity of the strengthened columns with a maximum error of only 7.68%.

The objective of this study is to experimentally scrutinize the axial performance of built-up concrete filled steel tube (CFT) columns composed of steel plates. In this case, the main parameters cross section types, compressive strength of filled concrete, and the effect of welding lines. Welded built-up steel box columns are fabricated by connecting two pieces of cold-formed U-shaped or four pieces of L-shaped thin steel plates with continuous penetration groove welding line located at mid-depth of stub column section. Furthermore, traditional square steel box sections with no welding lines are investigated for the comparison of axial behavior between the generic and build-up cross sections. Accordingly, 20 stub columns with thickness and height of 2 and 300 mm have been manufactured. As a result, welding lines in built-up specimens act as stiffeners because have higher strength and thickness in comparison to the plates. Subsequently, by increasing the welding lines, the load bearing capacity of stub columns has been increased in comparison to the traditional series. Furthermore, for specimens with the same confinement steel tubes and concrete core, increment of B/t ratio has reduced the ductility and axial strength.
