Finite Element Modelling of Concrete-Filled Steel Tube Reinforced Concrete Stub Columns under Axial Compression

Article Preview

Abstract:

Concrete-filled steel tube reinforced concrete (CFSTRC) columns are currently being studied as a popular method to improve the shear strength, the ductility and the seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) columns. Owing to the complexity of confinement provided by steel tubes and stirrups, the behaviour of CFSTRC column is difficult to be accurately simulated. Thus,so far there is not a finite element (FE) model for CFSTRC columns. For studying the performance of this composite column, a FE model was developed based on the existing test results and theories. The predicted results using this FE model agree with the test results, which means that this model can be applied to carry out the further mechanism analysis.
