Fire behaviour of high strength self-consolidating concrete filled steel tubular stub columns

This paper reports an investigation into the behaviour of high strength SCC (self-consolidating concrete) filled steel tubular stub columns exposed to standard fire. A series of tests were carried out to obtain the temperature distribution, axial deformation, limiting temperature of steel and fire endurance of the SCC filled steel tubular stub columns. In addition, a finite element analysis (FEA) model was proposed and used to simulate the fire behaviour of the columns. In the FEA modeling, a sensitivity study was conducted to determine the concrete fracture energy and the contact property of the steel and concrete interface. The verified FEA model was used to analyse the structural behaviour of the columns under fire exposure, such as strain, stress, the load sharing between the steel tube and concrete and local buckling of the steel tube, to gain an insight into the failure mechanism of the columns.

Analysis of axially loaded concrete filled circular hollow double steel tubular columns exposed to fire

A series of new unified design formulas for calculating the temperature field and fire resistance under axial compressive loading of a circular solid or hollow concrete filled double steel tubular (CFDST) short and slender columns exposed to fire are presented in this paper. The results of the experiments are firstly derived from exploring the fundamental behavior of the CFSDT slender columns under the ISO 834 standard fire and temperature distributions. Failure modes and axial deformation versus time curves are also obtained and discussed. It was realized that a solid or slender CFDST column has different temperature fields, stronger limiting temperature and better fire resistance, as compared to columns filled with plain concrete. Also, the load ratio and steel ratio have no evident difference between the results of the solid and hollow CFDST columns. A three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) model is developed to calculate the temperature field of CFDST columns. After calibration of the FE model, the influences of important parameters on the temperature field of the composite columns are investigated and a unified formula for calculating average temperatures of the columns’ cross-section is obtained. Combining the average temperature with the “Unified theory” under axial compression, a simplified design method is put forward, which provides a unified formulation for both the plain CFST and CFDST columns relating to the axial bearing capacity at room and elevated temperature. The proposed formulas are calibrated through comparisons with fire tests on the columns, and it was found that the method produces safe results on average.

Experimental study on concrete filled elliptical/oval steel tubular stub columns under compression

A concrete filled elliptical/oval steel tubular (CFEST) member consists of elliptical/oval steel tube and in-filled concrete. The CFEST member is a new type of steel–concrete composite member and is part of a family of concrete filled steel tubular members known as CFT. The present study aims to investigate, experimentally, the characteristics of CFEST stub columns under centric loading. The main test parameters selected are diameter-to-thickness and diameters ratios of elliptical/oval steel tube. From the results, local buckling of the elliptical/oval steel tube associated with shear failure of in-filled concrete could be observed. Axial loading capacity decreased as diameter-to-thickness ratio increased. Whereas, those capacities normalized by the summation of the individual strengths, namely the elliptical/oval steel tube and in-filled concrete strengths, are regulated in case the diameter-to-thickness ratio becomes larger. Finally, a method to predict the axial loading capacity induced by confinement effects of the in-filled concrete is proposed.     

Experimental behaviour of recycled aggregate concrete filled steel tubular columns

This paper describes a series of tests on steel tubular columns of circular and square section filled with normal concrete and recycled aggregate concrete. Thirty specimens, including 24 recycled aggregate concrete filled steel tubular (RACFST) columns and 6 normal concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) columns, were tested to investigate the influence of variations in the tube shape, circular or square, concrete type, normal concrete and recycled aggregate concrete, and load eccentricity ratio, from 0 to 0.53 on the performance of such composite columns. The test results show that both types of filled columns failed due to overall buckling. Comparisons are made with predicted ultimate strengths of RACFST columns using the existing codes, such as ACI 318-1999, AIJ-1997, AISC-LRFD-1999, BS5400-1979, DBJ13-51-2003 and EC4-1994. A theoretical model for normal CFST columns is adopted in this paper for RACFST columns. The predicted load versus deformation relationships are in good agreement with test results.

Experimental study on local buckling of axially compressed steel stub columns at elevated temperatures

There are few design provisions in codes and standards on local buckling of steel columns under fire conditions. To examine the local stability of steel stub columns at elevated temperatures, 12 stub columns were tested under simultaneous application of load and fire conditions. The test variables included Grade (type) of steel, buckling resistance, temperature and load levels. During fire tests, cross sectional temperatures, axial displacement, buckling deflection, and local buckling failure modes of flange and web of stub columns were recorded at various temperatures. Data from the tests is utilized to evaluate buckling resistance of flange and web both at room and elevated temperatures by applying the ultimate strain method and curve inflexion point method. Results from fire tests are utilized to validate a finite element model developed for tracing local buckling of steel columns at elevated temperatures. Results from fire tests and finite element analysis show that failure mode of columns at room and elevated temperatures follow similar pattern but the load bearing capacity of Q460 steel columns degrade much more rapidly under fire conditions than that of Q235 steel columns. Further, Eurocode 3 provisions for local buckling produce non-conservative results in certain situations.

Behaviour of concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) stub columns under eccentric partial compression

This paper investigates the behaviour of concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) stub columns subjected to eccentric partial compression. Twenty-eight specimens were tested and presented. The main parameters in test program include: (1) section type: circular, square and rectangular; (2) load eccentricity ratio (including uniaxial and biaxial loading): from 0 to 0.4; and (3) shape of the loading bearing plate (BP): circular, square, strip and rectangular. The test results indicated that, similar to the corresponding fully loaded CFST stub columns under eccentric loading, CFST stub columns under eccentric partial compression have generally reasonable bearing capacity and favorable ductility. A finite element analysis (FEA) model for CFST stub columns under eccentric partial compression is developed and the predicted performances are validated through measured results. The FEA model is then used to investigate the mechanisms of such composite columns further.     

Behaviour of concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns subjected to axially local compression

The behaviour of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) stub columns subjected to axially local compression was experimentally investigated in this paper. A total of thirty-two specimens were tested. The main parameters varied in the tests are: (1) sectional types: circular and square; (2) local compression area ratio (concrete cross-sectional area to local compression area): 1.44 and 16; and (3) thickness of the endplate: from 2 to 12 mm. A finite element analysis modelling was used for the analysis of CFST stub columns subjected to axially local compression, and a comparison of results calculated using this modelling shows generally good agreement with the test results. The theoretical modelling was then used to investigate the mechanism of the composite columns subjected to axially local compression.     

Structural behavior of centrally loaded steel columns at elevated temperature

A series of experimental studies is conducted to examine the behavior of SN490 steel column subjected to axial load in the fire condition. This experimental work is aimed at examining the effect of the width-to-thickness ratio of flanges, the slenderness ratio of steel columns and residual stresses on the ultimate strength of an SN490 steel column at a specified temperature. From these studies, it is found that the column strength decreases with the increase of width-to-thickness ratio and slenderness ratio. Column behavior is sensitive to width-to-thickness ratios and the slenderness ratio at temperatures below 550 ^°C. However, the influence of width-to-thickness ratios and the slenderness ratios is not severe when the temperature is higher than 550 ^°C. When the temperature is above 550 ^°C, the column strength deteriorates rapidly. It is also found that the failure mode of steel columns changes from inelastic global buckling at room temperature to inelastic local buckling at elevated temperature, due to the release of residual stress in a fire. Based on the results of this study, local buckling criteria and column strength at specified temperatures are suggested.
