This study aims to present a three dimensional finite element model to investigate the wave propagation in a concrete filled steel tubular column (CFSC) due to transient impact load. Both the concrete and steel are regarded as linear elastic material. The impact load is simulated by a semi sinusoidal impulse. Besides the CFSC models, a concrete column (CC) model is established for comparing under the same loading condition. The propagation characteristics of the transient waves in CFSC are analyzed in detail. The results show that at the intial stage of the wave propagation, the velocity waves in CFSC are almost the same as those in CC before they arrive at the steel tube. When the waves reach the column side, the velocity responses of CFSC are different from those of CC and the difference is more and more obvious as the waves travel down along the column shaft. The travel distance of the wave front in CFSC is farther than that in CC at the same time. For different wave speeds in steel and concrete material, the wave front in CFSC presents an arch shape, the apex of which locates at the center of the column. Differently, the wave front in CC presents a plane surface. Three dimensional effects on top of CFSC are obvious, therefore, the peak value and arrival time of incident wave crests have great difference at different locations in the radial direction. High-frequency waves on the waveforms are observed. The time difference between incident and reflected wave peaks decreases significantly with r/R when r/R < 0.6, however, it almost keeps constant when $r/R{\geq}0.6$. The time duration between incident and reflected waves calculated by 3D FEM is approximately equal to that calculated by 1D wave theory when r/R is about 2/3.

In recent years, composite concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) members have been widely utilized in framed building structures like beams, columns, and beam-columns since they have significant advantages such as reducing construction time, improving the seismic performance, and possessing high ductility, strength, and energy absorbing capacity. This paper presents a new composite joint - the composite CFST beam-column joint in which the CFST member is used as the beam. The main components of the proposed composite joint are steel H-beams, CFST beams welded with the steel H-column, and a reinforced concrete slab. The steel H-beams and CFST beams are connected with the concrete slab using shear connectors to ensure composite action between them. The structural performance of the proposed composite joint was evaluated through an experimental investigation. A three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model was developed to simulate this composite joint using the ABAQUS/Explicit software, and the accuracy of the FE model was verified with the relevant experimental results. In addition, a number of parametric studies were made to examine the effects of the steel box beam thickness, concrete compressive strength, steel yield strength, and reinforcement ratio in the concrete slab on the proposed joint performance.

본 논문에서의 연구대상은 콘크리트충전 각형강관을 이용한 기둥-보 골조의 접합부이다. 실험변수는 각형강관기둥의 충전콘크리트 유 무와 접합부 형식이며, 접합부 형식은 콘크리트충전을 고려하여 개구부를 갖는 관통형과 외측형으로 분류한다. 연구방법은 각각의 파라미터에 대하여 1차적으로 접합부 형식에 따른 보의 인장 플랜지와 각형강관 기둥 접합부와의 인장거동을 실험적으로 관찰한 후, 2차적으로 내진설계 개념을 적용하여 수평하중을 반복적으로 가할 경우의 접합부 형식에 따른 문형골조실험을 실시하였다. 연구목적은 실험결과로부터 국내외의 규준을 비교평가하여, 향후 국내의 콘크리트충전 강관구조 규준 제정에 필요한 기초 자료를 제시하는데 있다.

A study on the strength of steel tubular column filled with concrete under cocentrically compressed load is presented in this paper. This paper is structured as follows. The first section briefly discusses the M-N relationship formula derived for CFT, highlighting the additional moment effect. Next, the simple superposed method used to generate the strength formula of CFT loaded concentrically is described. In the final portion of this paper, the presented formula is compared to experimental data reported. The applicability of CFT strength formula presented here is limited somewhat by scope of concrete strength but can predict the strength of CFT simply and rapidly. The objective of this paper is to approach the strength of CFT theoretically and to examine the feasibility of presented formula.

Mega composite structure systems have been widely used in high rise buildings in China. Compared to other structures, this type of composite structure systems has a larger cross-section with less weight. Concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) laced column to box-beam connections are gaining popularity, in particular for the mega composite structure system in high rise buildings. To enable a better understanding of the destruction characteristics and aseismic performance of these connections, three different connection types of specimens including single-limb bracing, cross bracing and diaphragms for core area of connections were tested under low cyclic and reciprocating loading. Hysteresis curves and skeleton curves were obtained from cyclic loading tests under axial loading. Based on these tested curves, a new trilinear hysteretic restoring force model considering rigidity degradation is proposed for CFST laced column to box-beam connections in a mega composite structure system, including a trilinear skeleton model based on calculation, law of stiffness degradation and hysteresis rules. The trilinear hysteretic restoring force model is compared with the experimental results. The experimental data shows that the new hysteretic restoring force model tallies with the test curves well and can be referenced for elastic-plastic seismic analysis of CFST laced column to composite box-beam connection in a mega composite structure system.

Rectangular concrete-filled steel tubular (RCFST) column, a type of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST), is widely used in compression members of structures because of its advantages. This paper proposes a robust machine learning-based framework for predicting the ultimate compressive strength of RCFST columns under both concentric and eccentric loading. The gradient boosting neural network (GBNN), an efficient and up-to-date ML algorithm, is utilized for developing a predictive model in the proposed framework. A total of 890 experimental data of RCFST columns, which is categorized into two datasets of concentric and eccentric compression, is carefully collected to serve as training and testing purposes. The accuracy of the proposed model is demonstrated by comparing its performance with seven state-of-the-art machine learning methods including decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), support vector machines (SVM), deep learning (DL), adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and categorical gradient boosting (CatBoost). Four available design codes, including the European (EC4), American concrete institute (ACI), American institute of steel construction (AISC), and Australian/New Zealand (AS/NZS) are refereed in another comparison. The results demonstrate that the proposed GBNN method is a robust and powerful approach to obtain the ultimate strength of RCFST columns.

본 연구는 다양한 직경-두께비와 콘크리트 강도를 고려한 콘크리트 충전강관의 휨 거동을 다루었다. 유한 요소 해석을 위하여 상용 프로그램 LUSAS를 사용하였으며, 충전 강관의 콘크리트와 강 사이의 부착면의 상세거동을 고려하기 위하여 조인트 요소를 적용하였다. 또한, 콘크리트와 강관의 비선형성을 고려하기 위하여 소성영역에서 증가된 응력을 사용한 콘크리트와 강의 응력-변형률 곡선을 사용하였다. 제안된 방법으로 구한 수치해석 결과는 등분포하중을 받는 강관의 하중-변위 곡선에 대한 실제 실험 결과와 잘 일치하였다. 몇 가지 매개변수 연구는 서로 다른 직경-두께비와 콘크리트 강도에 대하여 휨 영향을 받는 콘크리트 충전강관의 구조적 특성에 초점을 두었다.
