Concrete creep, while significantly changing the static behaviors of concrete filled steel tube (CFST) structures, do alter the structures' dynamic behaviors as well, which is studied quite limitedly. The attempt to investigate the influence of concrete creep on the dynamic property and response of CFST arch bridges was made in this paper. The mechanism through which creep exerts its influence was analyzed first; then a predicative formula was proposed for the concrete elastic modulus after creep based on available test data; finally a numerical analysis for the effect of creep on the dynamic behaviors of a long-span half-through CFST arch bridge was conducted. It is demonstrated that the presence of concrete creep increases the elastic modulus of concrete, and further magnifies the seismic responses of the displacement and internal force in some sections of the bridge. This influence is related closely to the excitation and the structure, and should be analyzed case-by-case.

This research examines the eccentric compression performance of composite columns composed of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC)-filled square steel tube and profile steel. A total of 17 specimens on the composite columns with different recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) replacement percentage, RAC strength, width to thickness ratio of square steel tube, profile steel ratio, eccentricity and slenderness ratio were subjected to eccentric compression tests. The failure process and characteristic of specimens under eccentric compression loading were observed in detail. The load-lateral deflection curves, load-train curves and strain distribution on the cross section of the composite columns were also obtained and described on the basis of test data. Results corroborate that the failure characteristics and modes of the specimens with different design parameters were basically similar under eccentric compression loads. The compression side of square steel tube yields first, followed by the compression side of profile steel. Finally, the RAC in the columns was crushed and the apparent local bulging of square steel tube was also observed, which meant that the composite column was damaged and failed. The composite columns under eccentric compression loading suffered from typical bending failure. Moreover, the eccentric bearing capacity and deformation of the specimens decreased as the RCA replacement percentage and width to thickness ratio of square steel tube increased, respectively. Slenderness ratio and eccentricity had a significantly adverse effect on the eccentric compression performance of composite columns. But overall, the composite columns generally had high-bearing capacity and good deformation. Meanwhile, the mechanism of the composite columns under eccentric compression loads was also analysed in detail, and the calculation formulas on the eccentric compression capacity of composite columns were proposed via the limit equilibrium analysis method. The calculation results of the eccentric compression capacity of columns are consistent with the test results, which verify the validity of the formulas, and the conclusions can serve as references for the engineering application of this kind of composite columns.

Experimental and analytical studies were conducted to clarify the influencing mechanisms of the longitudinal reinforcement on performance of axially loaded Reinforced Concrete-Filled Steel Tube (R-CFST) short columns. The longitudinal reinforcement ratio was set as parameter, and 10 R-CFST specimens with five different ratios and three Concrete-Filled Steel Tube (CFST) specimens for comparison were prepared and tested. Based on the test results, the failure modes, load transfer responses, peak load, stiffness, yield to strength ratio, ductility, fracture toughness, composite efficiency and stress state of steel tube were theoretically analyzed. To further examine, analytical investigations were then performed, material model for concrete core was proposed and verified against the test, and thereafter 36 model specimens with four different wall-thickness of steel tube, coupling with nine reinforcement ratios, were simulated. Finally, considering the experimental and analytical results, the prediction equations for ultimate load bearing capacity of R-CFSTs were modified from the equations of CFSTs given in codes, and a new equation which embeds the effect of reinforcement was proposed, and equations were validated against experimental data. The results indicate that longitudinal reinforcement significantly impacts the behavior of R-CFST as steel tube does; the proposed analytical model is effective and reasonable; proper ratios of longitudinal reinforcement enable the R-CFSTs obtain better balance between the performance and the construction cost, and the range for the proper ratios is recommended between 1.0% and 3.0%, regardless of wall-thickness of steel tube; the proposed equation is recommended for more accurate and stable prediction of the strength of R-CFSTs.

CFT기둥은 강관내부에 콘크리트를 채워 넣은 구조로서, 화재 시 강관의 강도는 저하되나 내부 콘크리트의 높은 열용량 효과로 내화성능을 확보할 수 있는 구조이다. 본 연구에서는 강관내부의 충전된 콘크리트의 압축강도 및 축력비 변화에 따른 CFT기둥의 내화성능을 평가하였다. 내화성능의 평가는 KS F 2257-1 및 KS F 2257-7에 따라 수행되었으며, 적용 부재 단면은 $280{\times}280{\times}6$, 콘크리트 압축강도 24MPa, 40MPa 및 축력비 0.9, 0.6, 0.2를 실험변수로 설정하였다. 재하가열시험을 통한 내화성능평가 결과, 콘크리트 압축강도 24Mpa의 경우 축력비 0.9, 0.6, 0.2에서는 각각 27분, 113분, 3시간 이상으로 나타나 축력비 변화에 따른 내화성능이 크게 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. 콘크리트 압축강도 40MPa의 경우, 축력비 0.9, 0.6에서는 각각 19분, 28분으로 나타났다. 40MPa는 24MPa에 비해서 축력비 변화에 따른 내화성능 향상 효과는 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 고강도의 경우 가열시 발생되는 내부 압력의 상승로 성능저하가 크게 발생되는 것으로 판단되었다.

Concrete-filled-steel-tubular (CFST) columns have been well proven to improve effectively the strength, stiffness and ductility of concrete members. However, the central part of concrete in CFST columns is not fully utilised under uni-axial compression, bending and torsion. It has small contribution to both flexural and torsion strength, while it can be replaced effectively by steel with smaller area to give similar load-carrying capacity. Also, the confining pressure in CFST columns builds up slowly because the initial elastic dilation of concrete is small before micro-crackings of concrete are developed. From these observations, it is convinced that the central concrete can be effectively replaced by another hollow steel tube with smaller area to form double-skinned concrete-filled-steel-tubular (CFDST) columns. In this study, a series of uni-axial compression tests were carried out on CFDST and CFST columns with and without external steel rings. From the test results, it was observed that on average that the stiffness and elastic strength of CFDST columns are about 25.8% and 33.4% respectively larger than CFST columns with similar equivalent area. The averaged axial load-carrying capacity of CFDST columns is 7.8% higher than CFST columns. Lastly, a theoretical model that takes into account the confining effects of steel tube and external rings for predicting the uni-axial load-carrying capacity of CFDST columns is developed.

최근 고층건물의 화재안전성에 대한 문제점이 사회적으로 부각되어지고 있으며, 이러한 고층 건물에 다수 사용되고 있는 CFT기둥 부재에 대한 내화성능을 정량적으로 평가하는 방법이나 기준들이 마련되지 않은 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 고강도 콘크리트를 충전한 CFT 단주를 제작하여 내화실험을 실시하고, 화재시 내화성능평가 및 비정상온도분포해석을 이용한 해석을 수행하여 온도분포해석의 모델링을 제안할 수 있었다. 이것을 기초로 CFT Stub Column의 고온특성 평가결과를 활용하여 화재시 내화시간에 따른 CFT기둥의 잔존내력 예측식을 유도할 수 있었다.

This study addresses the load capacity prediction of circular concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns under axial compression using current design codes. Design methods given in the Chinese code CECS 28:2012 (2012), American code AISC 360-10 (2010) and EC4 (2004) are presented and described briefly. A wide range of experimental data of 353 CFST columns is used to evaluate the applicability of CECS 28:2012 in calculating the strength of circular CFST columns. AISC 360-10 and EC4 (2004) are also compared with the test results. The comparisons indicate that all three codes give conservative predictions for both short and long CFST columns. The effects of concrete strength, steel strength and diameter-to-thickness ratio on the accuracy of prediction according to CECS 28:2012 are discussed, which indicate a possibility of extending the limitations on the material strengths and diameter-to-thickness ratio to higher values. A revised equation for slenderness reduction factor in CECS 28:2012 is given.

콘크리트 충전 강관에 대한 기존의 연구는 단일 압축상태, 휨모멘트 상태, 편심 압축력 상태의 연구만이 행해 졌을 뿐 압축력과 비틀림이 조합된 응력 상태에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 압축력과 비틀림을 받는 원형 CFT 부재의 거동에 대한 특성을 살펴보고 합리적인 해석법을 연구하였다. 원형 CFT부재가 압축력과 비틀림을 받을 경우의 압축 강도와 비틀림 강도를 결정하는데 중요 요소인 구속효과와 부착 응력에 의한 스파이럴 효과를 본 모델에 고려하였다. 이를 위하여 단일 압축응력을 받을 경우 원형 강관에 의해 구속된 콘크리트 코어에 대한 연구가 선행되었다. 또한 비틀림을 받을 경우는 비틀림에 의한 크랙이 콘크리트의 표면을 따라 발생하게 된다. 크랙 발생이후 비틀림을 계속 받게 되면 크랙은 나선형태로 진전되어 콘크리트가 솟아 나오려 하나 강관과 콘크리트 사이의 부착 응력에 의해 억제 되게 된다. 이러한 이유 때문에 코어 콘크리트는 압축응력을 받게 되고 강관만 인장응력을 받게 되는데 이러한 영향 효과를 실제적으로 고려하였다. 연구 결과는 기존의 실험결과와 비교하였으며 제안된 이론은 압축력과 비틀림을 받는 원형 CFT부재의 실제 거동을 합리적으로 설명하고 있다.

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.
