Stress Transferring Mechanism and the Bearing Capacity of Joints between Concrete-Filled Square Steel Tubular Special-Shaped Columns and Steel Beams

Abstract:

In recent years, a new type of frame consisting of steel beam and concrete-filled square steel tubular special-shaped column is increasingly widespread. Compared with the joint of ordinary reinforced concrete special shaped frame, the joint between concrete-filled square steel tubular special-shaped columns and steel beams has the advantage of better ductility, higher loading capacity, uncomplicated reinforcement disposing and convenience in construction. This paper indicates that the joint has strong energy dissipation capacity and high loading capacity, and the use of diaphragm is effective to enhance the structural performance of the joints. Stress transferring mechanism in the joints is discussed, and the calculating model of the shear strength of panel zone is established. This study is helpful for further study of the design and use of the joint between concrete-filled square steel tubular special-shaped columns and steel beams.
