Abstract:
This paper presents an experimental and numerical study on CFSCT (concrete-filled stainless-carbon tubular) stub columns under local compression. A total of thirty-one specimens were tested, the effects of outer tube thickness, concrete strength, local compressive ratio and shape of bearing block on the local compression performance were studied. The advantages of CFSCT specimens over conventional composite structure members were discussed. Parametric study was conducted on the verified FE models to consider a wider range of geometric and material properties. The results indicate that increasing outer tube thickness is more significant in increasing the bearing capacity for beta= 2.25, up to 48.2 %, and increasing inner tube strength is more significant for beta= 9, up to 32.3 %. As beta increases, initial stiffness of specimens decreases and deformation performance improves. The insertion of inner tube greatly improves local compression performance. The influence of the shape of bearing block is not sensitive. The current codes for assessing the bearing capacity of CFSCT are conservative. The proposed calculation equations safely and effectively extend the conventional CFST calculation equations to CFSCT, calculation results demonstrate good consistency with experimental and FE results.
