Numerical Analysis of Through-Beam Connection between CFST Column and RC Beam

Abstract:

The concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) columns consist of steel tube in-filled with concrete. The connections are the most important components of a CFST column and reinforced concrete beam structural system, since it combines the beams and the columns. In this paper, a through-beam ring connection for strengthening the joint between CFST column and RC beam is modeled using the finite element software package ANSYS and analysed the axial compressive behavior of the connection system. The numerical model is validated with the results available in the literature to confirm the structural efficiency of the ring beam connection system.
