Research on Concrete-Filled Rectangular Steel Tube Stiffeners and Axial Compression Bearing Capacity

Abstract:

Concrete-filled rectangular steel tube four sides restraint effect on the core concrete was weaker than the corner, which made the effect not significant. The paper studied a new kind of stiffening rib –PBL stiffener to strengthen restraint effect of concrete-filled rectangular steel tube , and evaluated its advantages compared with other stiffening ribs. 9 PBL stiffened concrete-filled rectangular steel tube columns under axial compressive load were tested. It also collected the test with other stiffened rids, such as straight ribs, binding bars, knee brace, steel reinforcement cage, steel bar stiffeners, saw tooth shaped stiffeners, stitching straight stiffeners and no rib concrete filled rectangular steel tube to compare. It evaluated increasing coefficient of bearing capacity by stiffening ribs. The results showed that: the PBL stiffeners and binding bar of concrete-filled rectangular steel tube bearing capacity was greater than other reinforcement measures by more than 20%; PBL stiffener could be a new prominent type of stiffener because of its excellent mechanical performance and simple construction.
