ULTIMATE STRENGTH OF SLEEVE JOINT BETWEEN CONCRETE-FILLED CIRCULAR STEEL PIPES WITH SHEAR CONNECTOR

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...

Numerical Analysis of Concrete-Filled Circular Steel Tubes

Seismic Design of Concrete-Filled Circular Steel Bridge Piers

The adequacy of the existing design provisions for concrete-filled steel pipes subjected to axial forces and flexure is reviewed by comparing the strengths predicted by the CAN/CSA-S16.1-M94, AISC LRFD 1994, and the Eurocode 4 1994 codes and standards against experimental data from a number of investigators. New proposed design equations are then developed, in a format compatible with North Ame...

Numerical Simulation of Ultra- Strength Concrete-filled Steel Columns

Article history: Received: 11. 09. 2013. Received in revised form: 01. 10. 2013. Accepted: 15. 10. 2013. Researches into the constitutive relation of the super high strength and high performance concrete and the stress strain relationship of the ultrastrength concrete-filled steel columns are rare. Therefore, this paper based on continuous mechanics presents the relationship of mathematical des...

Punching shear strength of steel fibre reinforced concrete slabs

The ultimate strength of reinforced concrete slabs is frequently governed by the punching shear capacity, which may be increased with addition of traditional fitments such as reinforcing steel, headed studs or shear heads. In addition to these traditional methods of strengthening against punching, steel fibre reinforcement has proved to be an effective and viable alternative. The addition of fi...
