Ductility and Ultimate Capacity of Concrete-Filled Lattice Rectangular Steel Tube Columns

A kind of concrete-filled lattice rectangular steel tube(CFLRST)column was put forward.The numerical simulation was modeled to analyze the mechanical characteristic of CFLRST column.By comparing the load-deformation curves from the test results,the rationality and reliability of the finite element model has been confirmed,moreover,the change of the section stiffness and stress in the forcing process and the ultimate bearing capacity of the column were analyzed.Based on the model,the comparison of ultimate bearing capacity and ductility between CFLRST column and reinforced concrete(RC)column were also analyzed.The results of the finite element analysis show that the loading process of CFLRST column consists of elastic stage,yield stage and failure stage.The failure modes are mainly strength failure and failure of elastoplastic instability.CFLRST column has higher bearing capacities in comparison with reinforced concrete columns with the same steel ratio.In addition,the stiffness degeneration of CFLRST column is slower than RC column and CFLRST column has good ductility.

Push-Over Analysis of the Seismic Behavior of a Concrete-Filled Rectangular Tubular Frame Structure

To investigate the seismic behavior of concrete-filled rectangular steel tube （CFRT） structures, a push-over analysis of a 10-story moment resisting frame （MRF） composed of CFRT columns and steel beams was conducted. The results show that push-over analysis is sensitive to the lateral load patterns, so the use of at least two load patterns that are expected to bound the inertia force distributions is recommended. The M-Ф curves and N-M interaction surfaces of the CFRT columns calculated either by Han＇s formulae or by the USC-RC program （reinforced concrete program put forward by University of Southern Califonia） are suitable for future push-over analyses of CFRT structures. The P-A effect affects the MRF seismic behavior seriously, and so should be taken into account in MRF seismic analysis. In addition, three kinds of RC structures were analyzed to allow a comparison of the earthquake resistance behavior of CFRT structures and RC structures. The results show that the ductility and seismic performance of CFRT structures are superior to those of RC structures. Consequently, CFRT structures are recommended in seismic regions.

为了有效改善大跨度桥梁中管翼缘焊接箱型截面构件的耐久性问题,提出采用耐候钢代替普通钢的管翼缘箱型截面梁;同时,为了研究耐候钢管翼缘焊接箱型截面构件填充混凝土后,在全熔透和部分熔透条件下的单轴承载力性能,开展了焊接矩形截面在3种不同焊缝熔深下的耐候钢管混凝土截面轴压短柱试验研究;分别测试每个试件在单轴压力作用下的静态应变、动态应变,以及竖向位移和侧向位移;对比构件承载力的试验结果及理论分析结果,得出不同熔深下焊接箱型截面管翼缘组合构件的承载力性能。研究结果表明:1)耐候钢管翼缘焊接箱型截面构件的全熔透焊缝承载力高于部分熔透焊缝承载力。2)构件开裂时的竖向位移值,全熔透构件比部分熔透构件大;不同熔深下构件的横向位移值,测点L4随轴压荷载的增大而增加,测点L3随轴压荷载的增大先增加后减小。3)构件内部混凝土应变值,开裂时全熔透构件比部分熔透构件突变小;构件表面钢材竖向应变,整体受压,且随荷载增大而增大;构件表面钢材横向应变,整体受拉,局部在顶部四角位置受压。
