New Prediction Model for the Ultimate Axial Capacity of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubes: An Evolutionary Approach

Effect of the Concrete Strength on the Concrete-Steel Bond in Concrete Filled Steel Tubes

In this study, the concrete-steel bond strength of concrete filled cylindrical steel tubes has been experimentally investigated. 22 short, high strength and normal concrete filled circular steel tubes were tested. Push-out test was carried out as the common method to evaluate the bond carrying capacity. Four different concrete mixes were used in preparing the specimens. The steel tubes were w...

Prediction of axial load capacity of stub circular concrete-filled steel tube using fuzzy logic

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) Confinement effect Fuzzy logic Modified learning from example (MLFE) Axial load capacity A circular concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) has several advantages compared with the conventional reinforced concrete member or hollow steel tube, since the tri-axial state of compression of the concrete infill increases its strength and str...

the use of appropriate madm model for ranking the vendors of mci equipments using fuzzy approach

abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...

Numerical Analysis of Concrete-Filled Circular Steel Tubes

Damage Assessment for Performance-Based Design of Rectangular Concrete-Filled Steel Tubes

This paper summarizes research in which the damage evolution of rectangular concrete-filled steel tube (RCFT) members, connections, and frames, was documented using results from experimental tests from around the world. Two types of damage indices were then defined and used for each type of RCFT component to quantify damage. Based on the quantified values of damage, each local damage level iden...
