용접조립 각형강관은 얇은 강판을 L형으로 절곡한 4개의 단위 부재를 플레어 용접으로 용접한 강관으로 용접조립 각형강관이 CFT 기둥으로 사용될 경우 콘크리트와 강관 폭의 중앙에 설치된 리브가 국부좌굴을 방지하는 역할을 하며 강관은 내부의 콘크리트의 구속하여 콘크리트의 구조내력을 향상시키는 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 용접조립 각형강관기둥의 제작방법을 소개하고 용접조립 각형강관과 용접조립 각형CFT 기둥 의 구조성능을 평가하기 위해 강관의 형상(용접조립 각형강관, 일반강관)과 폭두께비(B/t=50, 58, 67), 콘크리트의 강도(f'c=, 10MPa, 40MPa) 를 변수로 총 15개의 실대형 실험체를 제작하여 구조실험을 수행하였으며 용접조립 각형강관의 단면효율과 구조내력의 우수성을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes an innovative thin-walled square concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) column with an octagonal/circular lining steel tube, in which the outer steel tube and the inner liner are fabricated independently of each other and connected by slot-weld or self-tapping screw connections. Twelve thin-walled square CFST columns were tested under quasi-static loading, considering the parameters of liner type, connection type between the square tube and liner, yield strength of steel tube, and the axial load ratio. The seismic performance of the thin-walled square CFST columns is effectively improved by the octagonal and circular liners, and all the liner-stiffened specimens showed an excellent ductile behavior with the ultimate draft ratios being much larger than 1/50 and the ductility coefficients being generally higher than 4.0. The energy dissipation abilities of the specimens with circular liners and self-tapping screw connections were superior to those with octagonal liner and slot-weld connections. Based on the test results, both the finite element (FE) and simplified theoretical models were established, considering the post-buckling strength of the thin-walled square steel tube and the confinement effect of the liners, and the proposed models well predicted the hysteretic behavior of the liner-stiffened specimens.

This paper presents a probabilistic investigation of American and European specifications (i.e., AISC and Eurocode 4) for square concrete-filled steel tubular (CFT) stub columns. The study is based on experimental results of 100 axially loaded square CFT stub columns from the literature. By comparing experimental results for ultimate loads with code-predicted column resistances, the uncertainty of resistance models is analyzed and it is found that the modeling uncertainty parameter can be described using random variables of lognormal distribution. Reliability analyses were then performed with/without considering the modeling uncertainty parameter and the safety level of the specifications is evaluated in terms of sufficient and uniform reliability criteria. Results show that: (1) The AISC design code provided slightly conservative results of square CFT stub columns with reliability indices larger than 3.25 and the uniformness of reliability indices is no better because of the quality of the resistance model; (2) The uniformness of reliability indices for the Eurocode 4 was better than that of AISC, but the reliability indices of columns designed following the Eurocode 4 were found to be quite below the target reliability level of Eurocode 4.

This paper reports the results of a recent experimental study into the behavior of welded fin-plate connections to both hollow and concrete filled tubular (CFT) columns under shear. Experiments have been performed at both ambient and elevated temperatures with the aid of an electric kiln. The observed failure modes include fracture of the fin plate and tearing out of the tube around the welds. By considering the results of previously published research, the current design method for similar connections under purely tensile load, in CIDECT Guide 9, based on a deformation limit of 3% of the tube width is shown to be inadequate when evaluating the ultimate strength of such connections. By comparing the results from the current test program which failed in the fin-plate with Eurocode guidance for failure of a fin-plate alone under shear and bending load it is shown that the column face influences the overall connection strength regardless of failure mode. Concrete in-fill is observed to significantly increase the strength of connections over empty specimens, and circular column specimens were observed to exhibit greater strength than similarly proportioned square columns. A finite element (F.E.) model, developed using ABAQUS, is presented and validated against the experimental results in order that extensive parametric tests may be subsequently performed. When validating the model against elevated temperature tests it was found that using reduction factors suggested in published research for the specific steel grades improved results over applying the generic Eurocode elevated temperature steel strength reduction factors.

In the present investigation the experimental and theoretical flexural and compressive behavior of short tubular steel columns filled with plain concrete and fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) was examined. For a given length of the members, the effects of different geometry and dimensions of the transverse cross-section (square and circular) were investigated. Constituent materials were characterized through direct tensile tests on steel coupons and through compressive and split tension tests on concrete cylinders. Load-axial shortening and load-deflection curves were recorded for unfilled and composite members. Finally, simplified expressions for the calculus of the load-deflection curves based on the cross-section analysis were given and the ultimate load of short columns was predicted.

단주영역에서 정사각형 콘크리트 충전 강관기둥의 단순 누가강도, 설계식 강도는 실험강도에 비해 약간 과소하게 평가하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 주요 요인이 되는 콘크리트의 구속효과를 고려하여 평가하고자 하였다. 콘크리트의 구속효과를 검토하기 위해 3차원 유한요소모델을 사용하여 강관의 폭-두께비(b/t), 콘크리트의 압축강도($f_c$'), 강재의 항복응력($f_y$)에 따른 영향을 검토하였고 이 세 변수를 조합한 제안된 강도식은 기존의 실험값과 비교, 검토되었다. 또한 하중 재하상태에 따른 콘크리트의 구속효과도 살펴 보았다.

본 논문은 중심축하중을 받는 콘크리트충전 각형강관 단주의 거동에 관한 연구이다. 총 11개의 실험체가 실험되었고, 실험의 변수는 강관의 폭/두께비와 강재의 항복 응력도에 대한 콘크리트의 압축강도비(응력도비)이다. 폭/두께비의 범위는 20.22에서 91.75이고 응력도비는 0.068에서 0.0955이다. 본 실험의 변수범위를 초과하는 기존의 실험결과를 수집하고 변수의 범위를 확장하여, 각각의 변수가 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 또한, Hajjar가 제안한 다항식의 모델을 수정하여 콘크리트충전 각형강관 단주의 내력식을 제안하였고.

A new type of moment-resisting bolted connection was developed for use in composite steel- concrete construction to connect composite open section steel beams to concrete filled steel square tubular columns. The connection was made possible using anchored blind bolts along with two through bolts. It was designed to act compositely with the in-situ reinforced concrete slab to achieve an enhanced stiffness and strength. The developed connection was incorporated in the design of a medium rise (five storey) commercial building which was located in low to medium seismicity regions. The lateral load resisting system for the design building consisted of moment resisting frames in two directions. A major full scale test on a sub-assembly of a perimeter moment-resisting frame of the model building was conducted to study the system behaviour incorporating the proposed connection. The behaviour of the proposed connection and its interaction with the floor slab under cyclic loading representing the earthquake events with return periods of 500 years and 2500 years was investigated. The proposed connection was categorized as semi rigid for unbraced frames based on the classification method presented in Eurocode 3. Furthermore, the proposed connection, composite with the floor slab, successfully provided adequate lateral load resistance for the model building.

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.
