FE Modeling of Elliptical Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Members Subjected to Pure Bending

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper reports a finite element analysis of the flexural behaviour of concrete-filled steel tubular members with elliptical section. A set of test data were used to verify the FE modeling. generally, good agreement was achieved. Typical curves of moment (M) versus deflection at mid-span (um), as well as stress distributions of steel tube and concrete of the composite members were compared and discussed. The results clearly show that the FE model is available for predicting the load-bearing capacities and the failure modes of the specimens.
