Advanced Analysis and Seismic Design of Concrete-Filled Steel Tube Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper will focus on aspects of the advanced analysis and underlying behavior of composite structures with concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) columns. Through a detailed examination of the results of a suite of full-scale slender CFT beam-column tests, insight into the cyclic behavior of such members is gained, specifically pertaining to local buckling of the steel tube and the plastic hinge length. Modeling techniques, which capture these behaviors, are introduced and incorporated into a general purpose distributed plasticity fiber based beam element formulation. The model is found to be capable of capturing the observed behavior and producing accurate results.

متن کاملFlexural Performance of High-strength Prestressed Concrete-encased Concrete-filled Steel Tube Sections
The sections composed of concrete and steel, which include concrete-encased concrete-filled tubes, generally have defects due to the low tensile strength of concrete. Therefore, an appropriate method was used for the combination of concrete-filled tubes (CFT) and prestressing strands which is encased in concrete. The conventional design guidelines are commonly developed for materials with norma...
