Cyclic Experimental Behavior of CFST Column to Steel Beam Frames with Blind Bolted Connections

This paper aims to investigate the seismic behavior of blind bolted end plate composite frames between square or circular concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) columns and steel beams. Two composite frames were tested under a constant axial load on the CFST columns and a lateral cyclic load on the frame. Each specimen composed of CFST columns and steel beams was selected to represent a plan frame in an assembly building. Failure pattern of the type of frames was analyzed to comprehend the structural response. The seismic resistance ability of the blind bolted CFST frames was also estimated in terms of hysteretic curves, ductility and energy dissipation etc. The effect of column section type and end plate type on the type of semi-rigid CFST frames was studied. The test results showed that at the same steel ratio of the column section, the bearing capacity and energy dissipation of square CFST frame were higher than those of circular CFST frame at ultimate state. Strain response of main members in each CFST frame was also estimated. The internal force analysis of the test CFST frames with semi-rigid connections was discussed and evaluated the effect of the bending moment distribution. It was concluded that the novel typed CFST frames exhibited excellent seismic performance and structural internal force redistribution. The experimental studies will be useful for design and application of the blind bolted CFST frames in fabricated steel structure building.

Hysteretic behaviour of flush end plate joints to concrete-filled steel tubular columns

The results of an experimental research study involving the testing of four bolted moment-resisting connections under simulated seismic loading conditions are presented. Each test specimen modeled the interior joint of a moment-resisting frame consisting of H-shaped steel beams and circular or square concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns using high-strength blind bolts. In order to investigate the seismic behaviour of the blind bolted flush end plate joints to CFST columns, the hysteretic performance, failure modes, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation of the connection type are evaluated in detail. The test parameters varied included the column section type and the thickness of the end plate. The experimental results indicate that both the blind bolted connections with circular and square sections exhibited excellent hysteretic behaviour in terms of their moment–rotation response, strain distributions and energy dissipation. Under cyclic loading, all tested specimens displayed large rotation ductility capacities, and the failure modes were similar to those under monotonic loads. The effects of cyclic loading on the behaviour of the composite joint were obvious, especially on load bearing and stiffness of the connections. The joint type exhibited excellent seismic performance, so that it can be effectively utilized in moment-resisting composite frame structures.

Performance of CFTST column to steel beam joints with blind bolts under cyclic loading

The objective of this research is to investigate the seismic performance of the composite joint consisting of square concrete filled thin-walled steel tubular (CFTST) column and steel beam with end plate and blind bolts. The cold-formed square tube in each CFTST column connection was fabricated by seam welding together four pieces of lipped angle with nominal wall thickness 1.5 mm or 3 mm. Four exterior joint specimens were tested under axially compressive load on the top of the columns and cyclic loads on the beam tip. The experimental parameters in the study were the thickness of the steel tube and the type of end plate. The seismic response of the blind bolted moment joints to CFTST columns was analyzed and evaluated in terms of the hysteretic behavior, failure modes, stiffness and strength degradation, ductility, and energy dissipation capacities of the joints. To improve the tension behavior of the blind bolted moment connections to the thin tube wall, the anchorage action of reinforcing rebar welded to the bolts with concrete-filled steel tubes was also investigated to consider the effect of cyclic loading. The experimental and analytical results indicated that when the end plate thickness is not less than 3 mm, the flush or extended end plate joints to CFTST columns exhibited large hysteretic loops and excellent seismic performance, such as ductility and energy dissipation capacity. The proposed innovative blind bolted joint was verified as a reliable and effective solution applied in mid- and low-rise buildings through properly design and detailing.

Seismic performance of composite moment-resisting frames achieved with sustainable CFST members

The main objective of the research presented in this paper is to study the bending behaviour of Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFST) columns made with Rubberized Concrete (RuC), and to assess the seismic performance of moment-resisting frames with these structural members. The paper describes an experimental campaign where a total of 36 specimens were tested, resorting to a novel testing setup, aimed at reducing both the preparation time and cost of the test specimens. Different geometrical and material parameters were considered, namely cross-section type, cross-section slenderness, aggregate replacement ratio, axial load level and lateral loading type. The members were tested under both monotonic and cyclic lateral loading, with different levels of applied axial loading. The test results show that the bending behaviour of CFST elements is highly dependent on the steel tube properties and that the type of infill does not have a significant influence on the flexural behaviour of the member. It is also found that Eurocode 4 is conservative in predicting the flexural capacity of the tested specimens. Additionally, it was found that the seismic design of composite momentresisting frames with CFST columns, according to Eurocode 8, not only leads to lighter design solutions but also to enhanced seismic performance in comparison to steel frames.     

Experimental study of lateral load behavior of H‐shaped precast reinforced concrete shear walls with bolted steel connections

This paper presents an experimental study of H‐shaped precast reinforced concrete shear walls involving vertical connections under combined vertical and lateral loading. The H‐wall is composed of two prefabricated flange wall panels: one prefabricated web wall panel and vertical bolted steel connections between the flange and web panels. The assembling of the H‐wall is completely dry without any in situ casting. Three H‐wall specimens were constructed and tested to investigate the mechanical behavior and seismic performance of them. The lateral load‐bearing capacity, ductility, energy dissipation, lateral stiffness, strain in the connecting steel frame, and sliding within the bolted steel connections are presented and discussed to evaluate the effectiveness of the vertical connections. The ultimate shear‐resistance mechanism of the precast H‐wall assembly is also analyzed. The H‐wall assemblies generally possess high load‐bearing capacity, favorable ductility, and good energy‐dissipating capacity. The thickness of the steel plates in the connecting steel frame affects the lateral stiffness and the ultimate load‐bearing capacity of the H‐walls. Furthermore, the encasing steel plates for the web wall panel not only helps transfer the stress in the wall steel bars but also confines the concrete resulting in improved ductility.     

Behaviour of flush end plate joints to concrete-filled steel tubular columns

This paper presents the results of an experimental program for bolted moment connection joints of circular or square concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) columns, and H-shaped steel beams using high-strength blind bolts. In order to investigate the static performance and failure modes of the blind bolted connection, an experimental program was conducted involving four sub-assemblages of cruciform beam-to-column joints subjected to monotonic loading. Moment-rotation relationships of the tested connections were obtained and their performance was evaluated in terms of their stiffness, moment capacities and ductility. The test parameters varied were the column section type and the thickness of the end plate. The results showed that the proposed blind bolted connection, which behaves in a semi-rigid and partial strength manner according to the EC3 specification, displays reasonable strength and stiffness. The rotation capacity of this type of connection to square or circular CFST columns exceeds 70 mrad and this satisfies the ductility requirements for earthquake-resistance in most aseismic regions. The blind bolted connection is shown to be a reliable and effective solution for moment-resisting composite frame structures.     

Experimental and numerical analyses of blind bolted moment-resisting composite joints to CFST columns with RC slab

In this paper, experimental and numerical analyses were conducted to investigate the structural properties and failure modes of the blind bolted flush or extended end plate joints between concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns and composite beams. The experimental program and the main results of the tests were elaborated. Four full-scale subassemblages beam-tocolumn exterior joints to hot-rolled and cold-formed CFST columns were tested. The failure modes and moment-rotation relation curves of the joints were evaluated. The test results showed that all specimens exhibited favorable strength and stiffness, and larger deformation capacities. Meanwhile, finite element analysis (FEA) modeling of the specimens was built and analyzed. The results obtained from the FEA modeling were satisfactory agreement with the experimental tests results. Then, an extensive parametric study was conducted to investigate the influence of various parameters on the moment capacity and rotation stiffness of composite joints under positive or negative moment. The experimental studies and numerical analyses can improve the design of the typed joints to be used in moment-resisting composite frames.
