A finite element analysis (FEA) model is established to investigate the concrete-encased concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) column to reinforced concrete (RC) beam joints under cyclic loading. The feasibility of the FEA model is verified by a set of test results, consisting of the failure modes, the exposed view of connections, the crack distributions and development, and the hysteretic relationships. The full-range analysis is conducted to investigate the stress and strain development process in the composite joint by using this FEA model. The internal force distributions of different components, as well as the deformation distributions, are analyzed under different failure modes. The proposed connections are investigated under dimensional and material parameters, and the proper constructional details of the connections are recommended. Parameters of the beam-column joints, including material strength, confinement factor, reinforcement ratio, diameter of steel tube to sectional width ratio, beam to column linear bending stiffness ratio and beam shear span ratio are evaluated. Furthermore, the key parameters affecting the failure modes and the corresponding parameters ranges are proposed in this paper.

Generally, a box tube, which is used for an existing square CFT structure, is made by welding four plates. The manufacturing efficiency of this steel tube is poor, and it also needs special welding technology to weld its internal diaphragm and the through diaphragm. Therefore, an interior-anchor-type square steel tube was developed using the method of cold-forming thin plates to prevent welding of the stress concentration position, and to maximize the section efficiency. And, considering of the flow of beam flange load, the efficiency of erection and the weldability of the diaphragm to thin walled steel column, the external diaphragm connection was selected as the suitable type for the welded built-up square CFT column to beam connection. And, an analytical study and tests were conducted to evaluate the structural performance of the suggested connection details and to verify the suggested equations for the connection details. Through this study, the composite effect of the internal anchor to concrete, the resistance and stress distribution of the connections before and after the existing column is welded to the beam, the effective location of welding in connection were analyzed.

This paper reports an experimental study that was accomplished to assess the seismic behavior of steel tube reinforced concrete bridge columns (SBCs). The motivation of this study was to verify a supposition that the core steel tube may be terminated at a rational position in the column to minimize the material cost while maintaining the seismic behavior of this composite column. Four SBC specimens were tested under combined constant axial load and cyclic reversed lateral loads. The unique variable in the test matrix was the core steel tube embedment length, which ranged from 1/3 to 3/3 of the column effective height. It is observed that SBCs showed two distinctly different failure patterns, namely brittle shear failure and ductile flexural failure. Tests results indicate that the hysteretic responses of SBCs were susceptible to the core steel tube embedment length. With the increase of this structural parameter, the lateral strength of SBC was progressively improved; the deformability and ductility, however, exhibited a tendency of first increase and then decrease. It is also found that in addition to maintained the rate of stiffness degradation and cumulative energy dissipation basically unchanged, both the ductility and deformability of SBC were significantly improved when the core steel tube was terminated at the mid-height of the column, and these were the most unexpected benefits accompanied with material cost reduction.

This paper aims to investigate the axial load behavior and stability strength of square tubed steel-reinforced concrete (TSRC) columns. Unlike concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) column, the outer steel tube of a TSRC column is mainly used to provide confinement to the core concrete. Ten specimens were tested under axial compression, and the main test variables included length-to-width ratio (L/B) of the specimens, width-to-thickness ratio (B/t) of the steel tubes, and with or without stud shear connectors on the steel sections. The failure mode, ultimate strength and load-tube stress response of each specimen were summarized and analyzed. The test results indicated that the axial load carried by square tube due to friction and bond of the interface increased with the increase of L/B ratio, while the confinement effect of tube was just the opposite. Parametric studies were performed through ABAQUS based on the test results, and the feasibility of current design codes has also been examined. Finally, a method for calculating the ultimate strength of this composite column was proposed, in which the slenderness effect on the tube confinement was considered.

Beam-column joints play a significant role in static and dynamic performances of reinforced concrete frame structures. This study contributes a numerical approach of topologically optimal design of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) to retrofit existing beam-column connections with crack patterns. In recent, CFRP is used commonly in the rehabilitation and strengthening of concrete members due to the remarkable properties, such as lightweight, anti-corrosion and simplicity to execute construction. With the target to provide an optimal CFRP configuration to effectively retrofit the beam-column connection under semi-failure situation such as given cracks, extended finite element method (X-FEM) is used by combining with multi-material topology optimization (MTO) as a mechanical description approach for strong discontinuity state to mechanically model cracked structures. The well founded mathematical formulation of topology optimization problem for cracked structures by using multiple materials is described in detail in this study. In addition, moved and regularized Heaviside functions (MRHF), that have the role of a filter in multiple materials case, is also considered. The numerical example results illustrated in two cases of beam-column joints with stationary cracks verify the validity, benefit and supremacy of the proposed method.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the behavior of eccentric lightweight aggregate concrete-encased composite columns. This study aims at verifying the validity of such type of concrete in composite construction and checking the adequacy of the AISC-LRFD and the British Bridge Code BS 5400 specifications in predicting the column strength. Sixteen full-scale pin ended columns subjected to uniaxial bending about the major axis in symmetrical single curvature were tested.

PSRC 기둥은 앵글을 콘크리트에 매입시킨 기둥으로, 단면의 외곽 코너에 배치되는 앵글이 기둥의 휨-압축에 저항하고, 횡철근은 기둥의 전단과 앵글-콘크리트 사이의 부착에 저항한다. 본 연구에서는 KBC 2009에 따라 PSRC 합성기둥의 휨, 전단, 부착 설계방법을 정립하고, 단순지지된 2/3 스케일의 PSRC 보와 SRC 보의 2점 가력 휨실험을 통하여 제안된 설계법을 검증하고 PSRC 합성기둥의 파괴특성을 분석하였다. 단면의 강재비와 횡철근 간격을 실험 변수로 고려하였다. 실험결과, KBC 2009으로 예측한 PSRC 합성기둥의 휨, 전단, 부착 강도는 실험결과와 잘 일치하였다. 고강도 앵글이 기둥 단면의 외곽에 배치되므로 PSRC 합성기둥은 동일한 강재비를 갖는 일반 SRC 합성기둥 단면에 비하여 매우 우수한 휨저항 성능을 나타냈다. 그러나 앵글과 콘크리트 사이의 부착강도가 충분히 학보되지 못한 경우 합성기둥 단면의 휨항복강도를 발휘하기 이전에 앵글의 부착파괴, 피복콘크리트 파괴, 횡철근의 파단 등이 발생하였다. 또한 앵글 용접성 및 인성이 부족할 경우 앵글-횡철근 용접부에서 앵글의 파단에 의해 실험체가 파괴되었다.

본 연구에서는 볼트조립 앵글을 적용한 선조립 합성기둥(이하 PSRC 합성기둥)의 압축성능을 연구하였다. 2/3 축소비율의 PSRC 기둥실험체 4개와 기존 SRC 기둥실험체 2개에 대하여 중심축 압축실험을 수행하였다. 횡보강재의 수직간격 및 단면형상과 앵글의 단면형상을 실험변수로 고려하였다. 실험결과, PSRC 기둥실험체는 기존 SRC 기둥실험체와 비교하여 비슷한 압축하중 재하능력 및 변형능력을 발휘하였다. PSRC 합성기둥의 경우, 횡방향 강판의 좁은 횡보강 간격과 Z형 단면의 강판이 압축강도 및 변형능력 향상에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 PSRC 합성기둥은 현행설계기준에 의한 공칭 압축강도보다 큰 압축하중 재하능력을 나타내었다. 실험체들에 대한 수치해석결과는 피복 콘크리트 탈락으로 인한 하중감소를 제외하고 초기강성 및 하중재하능력을 비교적 잘 예측하였다.
