Performance Analysis of CFST Column and RC Column Subjected to Eccentric Load

Article Preview

Abstract:

A nonlinear finite element model is developed to study the behavior of square concrete-filled steel tubular(CFST) column and reinforced concrete (RC) column with the same quantity of material and cross-section sizes under eccentric load using ANSYS software.The results indicate that the bearing capacity of CFST column is about 30% greater than RC column and the ductility of CFST column is much greater than RC column under the same conditions. Eccentricity and slenderness ratio have same effect on the bearing capacity of both, which are drop.
