FIRE RESISTANCE OF CIRCULAR STEEL TUBE COLUMNS INFILLED WITH REINFORCED CONCRETE

Seismic Behavior of Steel Reinforced Concrete Beam-Columns and Frames

The ability to perform accurate nonlinear simulations is a key component in the assessment of the behavior of seismic force resisting systems. A three-dimensional distributed plasticity formulation for composite beam-columns suitable for nonlinear static and dynamic analyses of composite seismic force resisting systems has been developed. New uniaxial constitutive relations are developed for th...

Yield curvature for seismic design of circular reinforced concrete columns

Behavior of FRP-Confined Concrete-Filled Steel Tube Columns

This paper presents the results of an experimental study into the behavior of concrete-filled steel tube columns confined by fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP). Eleven columns were tested to investigate the effects of the FRP layer number, the thickness of the steel tube and concrete strength on their load capacity and axial deformation capacity. The experimental results indicated that the FRP wrap...

Temperature Field Calculation and Analysis within Steel Tube Reinforced Columns

The temperature field analysis method of steel tube reinforced columns under fire by finite element analysis software ABAQUS is proposed in this paper. The theoretical method is validated by tests, and the calculated results agree well with those of tests. On the basis of that, the influencing laws of temperature rising time; section perimeter; steel reinforcement ratio and sectional core area ...
