Nonlinear Analysis Of Biaxially Loaded High Strength Rectangular Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Slender Beam-Columns, Part I: Theory, Qing Quan Liang, Vipulkumar Ishvarbhai Patel, Muhammad N. S Hadi
Nonlinear Analysis Of Biaxially Loaded High Strength Rectangular Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Slender Beam-Columns, Part I: Theory, Qing Quan Liang, Vipulkumar Ishvarbhai Patel, Muhammad N. S Hadi
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
This paper presents a new numerical model for the nonlinear inelastic analysis of biaxially loaded high strength thin-walled rectangular concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) slender beam-columns. The numerical model considers the effects of progressive local buckling, initial geometric imperfections, high strength materials and second order. The accurate fiber element method is used to model the inelastic behavior of composite cross-sections. Theoretical models are developed that simulate the load-deflection responses and strength envelopes of thin-walled rectangular CFST slender beamcolumns under biaxial loads. New computational algorithms based on the M ller's method are developed to adjust the depth and orientation of the neutral …

Hybrid FRP-concrete-steel double-skin tubular columns (hybrid DSTCs) are a new form of hybrid columns recently developed at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. A hybrid DSTC consists of an inner steel tube, an outer FRP tube and a concrete infill between the two tubes. Hybrid DSTCs possess many important advantages over existing column forms, including their excellent corrosion resistance and excellent seismic resistance. While a large amount of research has been conducted on the monotonic behavior of this novel form of columns, only a limited amount of work has been conducted on their behavior under cyclic loading. This paper presents the …

Behaviour Of Hybrid Double-Skin Tubular Columns Subjected To Combined Axial Compression And Cyclic Lateral Loading, Bing Zhang, J G. Teng, Tao Yu
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
Hybrid FRP-concrete-steel double-skin tubular columns (hybrid DSTCs) are a new form of hybrid columns developed at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. They consist of an outer tube made of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) and an inner tube made of steel, with the space between filled with concrete. In these hybrid DSTCs, the three constituent materials are optimally combined to achieve several advantages not available with existing forms of columns, including their superior corrosion and seismic performance. This paper presents the test results of a series of large-scale hybrid DSTCs subjected to combined axial and cyclic lateral loads, with an emphasis …
Nonlinear Inelastic Behavior Of Circular Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Slender Beam-Columns With Preload Effects, Vipulkumar Ishvarbhai Patel, Qing Quan Liang, Muhammad N. Hadi
Nonlinear Inelastic Behavior Of Circular Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Slender Beam-Columns With Preload Effects, Vipulkumar Ishvarbhai Patel, Qing Quan Liang, Muhammad N. Hadi
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
This paper presents a numerical model based on fiber element formulations for simulating the nonlinear inelastic behavior of eccentrically loaded circular concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) slender beam-columns with preload effects. Deflections caused by preloads are included in the global analysis of CFST slender beam-columns as initial geometric imperfections. Computational algorithms based on the Müller's method are developed to obtain load-deflection responses of CFST slender beam-columns including preload effects. The accuracy of the numerical model is examined by comparisons of computer solutions with experimental results. The numerical model is utilized to investigate the effects of preloads on the axial load-deflection curves, …
