Measurement Analysis of Mechanical Properties of Round-Ended Concrete Filled Steel Tube Coupled Tower Column during Construction Phase

Abstract:

Steel-concrete composite structures are widely used in large-span spatial structures, high-rise building, super high-rise building and bridges and so on thanks to its advantages in terms of mechanical and construction properties. And the corresponding design codes on circular, square and polygonal concrete filled steel tube (CFST) have been formed at home and abroad. However, application of round-ended CFST is still very rare in the world and there is no corresponding theoretical research findings and design basis. There is an actual project that a round-ended CFST coupled tower column is applied in Houhu Bridge in Huangpi area, Wuhan city. Real-time stresses of the coupled tower column were monitored throughout construction phase to ensure that the force and linearity of Houhu Bridge can meet its design requirements. In the paper, the real-time stress monitoring data is analyzed so as to find force state and force characteristics of this new structure of round-ended CFST during construction phase. This study provides basic information for further formation of round-ended CFST design theory in future which plays an important role in engineering application of the round-ended CFST.
