加劲薄壁钢管混凝土柱的试验性能

Experimental behaviour of stiffened concrete-filled thin-walled hollow steel structural (HSS) stub columns

Test results on concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns with inner or outer welded longitudinal stiffeners under axial compression are presented in this paper. The research was mainly focused on square hollow section (SHS) columns; two rectangular hollow section (RHS) columns were also tested. A longitudinal stiffener was provided on each side of the stiffened SHS column, while only two stiffeners were welded to the longer sides of the stiffened RHS column. The main experimental parameters considered were the height-to-thickness ratio and stiffener rigidity. In addition, empty tubes with or without stiffeners, as well as unstiffened concrete-filled steel tubes were also tested for comparison. Requirements for stiffener rigidity are developed by modifying a formula presented in the literature. Existing theoretical model and design codes were used to predict the load versus axial strain relationships and load-carrying capacities of the adequately stiffened composite sections respectively; reasonable results were achieved.     

Effect of reinforcement stiffeners on square concrete-filled steel tubular columns subjected to axial compressive load

Eight stiffened square concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) stub columns with slender sections of encasing steel and two non-stiffened counterparts were tested subjected to axial compressive load. Four types of reinforcement stiffeners and steel tensile strips were introduced to postpone local buckling of steel tubes, in which the tensile strip was first used as stiffener in CFSTs. The stiffening mechanism, failure modes of concrete and steel tubes, strength and ductility of stiffened square CFSTs were also studied during the experimental research. A numerical modeling program was developed and verified against the experimental data. The program incorporates the effect of the stiffeners on postponing local buckling of the tube and the tube confinement on concrete core. Extensive parametric analysis was also conducted to examine the influencing parameters on mechanical properties of stiffened square CFSTs.     

Confinement effect of stiffened and unstiffened concrete-filled stainless steel tubular stub columns

This paper presents a comparative study between stiffened and unstiffened concrete-filled stainless steel hollow tubular stub columns using the austenitic stainless steel grade EN 1.4301 (304). Finite element analysis of concrete-filled stainless steel unstiffened tubular stub columns is constructed herein based on the confined concrete model recently available in the literature. It is then compared with the experimental results of concrete-filled stainless steel stiffened tubular stub columns. The stiffened stainless steel tubular sections were fabricated by welding four lipped angles or two lipped channels at the lips. The longitudinal stiffener of the column plate was formed to avoid shrinkage of the concrete and to act as a continuous connector between the concrete core and the stainless steel tube. The behavior of the columns was investigated using two different nominal concrete cubic strengths of 30 and 60 MPa. The overall depth-to-width ratios (aspect ratio) varied from 1.0 to 1.8. The depth-to-plate thickness ratio of the tube sections varied from 60 to 90. The stiffened and unstiffened concrete-filled stainless steel tube specimens were subjected to uniform axial compression over the concrete and stainless steel tube to force the entire section to undergo the same deformations by blocking action. The ABAQUS 6.6 program, as a finite element package, is used in the current work. The results of the comparative study showed that the stainless steel tubes in stiffened concrete-filled columns offered a high average of increase in the confinement of the concrete core than that of the unstiffened concrete-filled columns.     

带肋方钢管混凝土轴压短柱试验研究及有限元分析

以方钢管宽厚比和加劲肋高厚比为主要变化参数,进行了14个带肋方钢管混凝土轴压短柱试验研究;同时采用有限元软件ABAQUS对带肋方钢管混凝土轴压短柱的荷载-变形关系进行了计算,计算结果与试验结果吻合良好。同时从应力-应变关系、核心混凝土和钢管的纵向应力分布及其相互作用等方面对比分析了无肋、单肋和双肋方钢管混凝土轴压短柱的受力性能。分析结果表明：设置加劲肋不仅提高了核心混凝土的纵向应力,而且明显减小了钢管管壁的拉应力区范围,改善了管壁的稳定性;带肋试件的约束作用主要集中在钢管角部和加劲肋处,随着每边加劲肋数量的增加,角部约束力明显增大。图13表1参11     

Nonlinear behavior of concrete-filled stainless steel stiffened slender tube columns

This paper investigates the nonlinear behavior of concrete-filled high strength stainless steel stiffened slender square and rectangular hollow section columns. The stiffened slender tubes had overall depth-to-plate thickness (D/t) ratios ranging 60–160. The concrete strengths covered normal and high-strength concrete. The investigation focused on short axially loaded columns. A nonlinear finite element (FE) model has been developed to study the behavior of the concrete-filled stiffened tube columns. A parametric study was conducted to investigate the effects of cross-section geometry and concrete strength on the behavior and strength of the columns. The results of the concrete-filled stiffened tube columns were compared with the results of the companion concrete-filled unstiffened tube columns. It is shown that the concrete-filled stiffened slender tube columns offer a considerable increase in the column strength and ductility than the concrete-filled unstiffened slender tube columns. The column strengths obtained from the FE analysis were compared with the design strengths calculated using the American specifications and Australian/New Zealand standards. A design equation was proposed for concrete-filled stainless steel stiffened slender tube columns. It is shown that the proposed modified equation provides more accurate design strengths compared to the American and Australian/New Zealand predictions.     

Experimental investigation on concrete-filled stainless steel stiffened tubular stub columns

This paper presents an experimental investigation on concrete-filled normal-strength stainless steel stiffened tubular stub columns using the austenitic stainless steel grade EN 1.4301 (304). The stiffened stainless steel tubes were fabricated by welding four lipped angles or two lipped channels at the lips. Therefore, the stiffeners were formed at the mid-depth of the sections. In total, five hollow columns and ten concrete-filled columns were tested. The longitudinal stiffener of the column plate was formed to avoid shrinkage of the concrete and to behave as a continuous connector between the concrete core and the stainless steel tube. The behavior of the columns was investigated using two different nominal concrete cubic strengths of 30 and 60 MPa. A series of tests was performed to investigate the effects of cross-section shape and concrete strength on the behavior and strength of concrete-filled stainless steel stiffened tubular stub columns. The measured average overall depth-to-width ratios (aspect ratio) varied from 1.0 to 1.8. The depth-to-plate thickness ratio of the tube sections varied from 60 to 90. Different lengths of columns were selected to fix the length-to-depth ratio to a constant value of 3. The concrete-filled stiffened stainless steel tubular columns were subjected to uniform axial compression over the concrete core and the stainless steel tube to force the entire section to undergo the same deformations by blocking action. The column strengths, load–axial strain relationships and failure modes of the columns are presented. Several comparisons were made to evaluate the test results. The results of the experimental study showed that the design rules, as specified in the European specifications and the ASCE, are highly conservative for square and rectangular cold-formed concrete-filled normal-strength stainless steel stiffened stub columns.     

Experimental research on mechanical behavior of concrete-filled thin-walled stiffened square steel tubular short column under axial load

为研究带肋薄壁方钢管混凝土轴压短柱的受力性能,以钢管宽厚比、加劲肋宽度和加劲肋个数为参数,对26个薄壁方钢管混凝土短柱进行了试验研究。研究结果表明：对于无肋试件,在达到承载力以前管壁已经发生鼓曲,且试件宽厚比越大,鼓曲越早发生,鼓曲部位的钢管截面越早退出工作,没有发挥出钢管混凝土的优势。设置加劲肋后薄壁方钢管混凝土短柱的受力性能得到明显改善,钢管壁的局部鼓曲得以延缓,材料强度得到了充分利用,试件承载力提高。当试件宽厚比为60、80时,加劲肋宽度对试件承载力影响最明显,加劲肋宽度越大,承载力越高,增加加劲肋个数对试件承载力影响不大;而当试件宽厚比为100时,设置单个加劲肋已不能满足对管壁局部屈曲的抗弯刚度要求,必须增加加劲肋的个数以增加约束钢管变形的支撑点,减小管壁局部屈曲的波长,提高试件局部屈曲的临界荷载。同时利用ABAQUS有限元计算软件对薄壁带肋方钢管混凝土轴压短柱的受力全过程进行了模拟,并将试验结果与有限元模拟结果进行了对比,两者吻合良好,为下一步分析奠定基础。     

Compressive behavior of T-shaped concrete filled steel tubular columns

Special-shaped column structures improve residential architectural space, compared with traditional frame structures. However, in respect to applicable building height and seismic fortification intensity, traditional special-shaped reinforced concrete (RC) columns have strict limitations in seismic behavior, which hampers further generalization and application of special-shaped columns. Due to increase in constraint effect for concrete, special-shaped concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns are expected to behave advantages on the strength, ductility and seismic behavior over special-shaped RC columns. However, special attention should be paid to prevent the steel plates’ premature local buckling and the separation between steel tube and concrete at inner corners. The battlement-shaped bar stiffeners and tensile bar stiffeners, welded on tube surfaces, were first put forward in this paper. Experimental study of 9 stubs in three groups subjected to axial loads was conducted, and the specimens consist of 3 square stubs (including 1 non-stiffened and 2 stiffened CFST specimens) and 6 T-shaped stubs (including 1 RC specimen, 2 non-stiffened and 3 stiffened CFST specimens). Failure modes and static properties of the specimens were investigated. Experimental results reveal that: Due to the constraint effect provided by T-shaped tubes, the CFST specimens behave advantages on the RC specimen in the ascending stiffness, peak resistance and ductility (except for the battlement-shaped bar stiffened CFSTs). For square and T-shaped stiffened CFST specimens, the stiffeners improve their ductility, especially the tensile bar which gives the best performance in ductility and improves the peak resistance substantially. The stiffeners postpone the buckling of tubes, and even upgrade the classification of composite sections, without thickening the tubes.     

Fire performance of stiffened concrete filled double skin steel tubular columns

A major deficiency of the concrete-filled double skin steel tube (CFDST) columns in fire exposure is the inadequate steel-concrete interface bonding leading to separating concrete and steel surfaces at elevated temperatures and triggering buckling failure of the columns. To improve interface interaction as well as postpone overall buckling, it is proposed in this study to use longitudinal steel stiffeners in CFDST columns. Different patterns of stiffeners including six, four and two number of stiffeners embedded in the interior or exterior surfaces of the inner or outer tubes are considered in the analysis. A sequentially-coupled thermal-stress analysis procedure is conducted to evaluate the effects of different patterns of stiffeners on the fire performance of these columns. One of the novelties of the current study is the incorporation of the confinement effects of both inner and outer tubes on the compressive strength of concrete at elevated temperatures which gives a realistic prediction of the fire resistance behavior of the CFDST columns. From the results, it is found that among the different patterns studied, stiffeners embedded in the exterior surface of the inner tubes or interior surface of the outer tubes enhancing steel-concrete interface interaction have a determinant role in much-improving fire endurance of the columns. With increase in the load ratio fire resistance of the specimens decreases drastically. The stiffeners strength and concrete strength have minimal effect on the fire performance of the stiffened CFDST columns. The conclusions, drawn from this study, can in turn, lead to the suggestion of some guidelines for the design of CFDST columns.     

Strength and ductility of stiffened thin-walled hollow steel structural stub columns filled with concrete

It is generally expected that inner-welded longitudinal stiffeners can be used to improve the structural performance of thin-walled hollow steel structural stub columns filled with concrete. Thirty-six specimens, including 30 stiffened stub columns and six unstiffened ones, were tested to investigate the improvement of ductile behaviour of such stiffened composite stub columns with various methods. The involved methods include increasing stiffener height, increasing stiffener number on each tube face, using saw-shaped stiffeners, welding binding or anchor bars on stiffeners, and adding steel fibres to concrete. It has been found that adding steel fibres to concrete is the most effective method in enhancing the ductility capacity, while the construction cost and difficulty will not be increased significantly.

Buckling analysis of high strength stainless steel stiffened and unstiffened slender hollow section columns

This paper investigates the buckling behaviour of cold-formed high strength stainless steel stiffened and unstiffened slender square and rectangular hollow section columns. The high strength duplex material is austenitic-ferritic stainless steel approximately equivalent to EN 1.4462 and UNS S31803. The columns were compressed between fixed ends at different column lengths. A nonlinear finite element model has been developed to investigate the behaviour of stiffened slender square and rectangular hollow section columns. The column strengths, load-shortening curves as well as failure modes were predicted for the stiffened and unstiffened slender hollow section columns. An extensive parametric study was conducted to study the effects of cross-section geometries on the strength and behaviour of the stiffened and unstiffened columns. The investigation has shown that the high strength stainless steel stiffened slender hollow section columns offer a considerable increase in the column strength over that of the unstiffened slender hollow section columns. The column strengths predicted from the parametric study were compared with the design strengths calculated using the American Specification, Australian/New Zealand Standard and European Code for cold-formed stainless steel structures. It is shown that the design strengths obtained using the three specifications are generally conservative for the cold-formed stainless steel unstiffened slender square and rectangular hollow section columns, but slightly unconservative for the stiffened slender square and rectangular hollow section columns.
