Abstract
This study investigated the size effect of steel tube and sandwiched concrete jacketed CFST columns under eccentric compression. A series of eccentric compression tests were conducted on 3 geometrically similar un-strengthened CFST columns and 13 strengthened CFST columns with varying structural sizes (with a ratio of 1:1.5:2), different eccentricities, and different outer steel ratios. The eccentric performance of the specimens, including their failure behaviours, load-axial displacement curves, and longitudinal and circumferential strain distribution were explored. Additionally, the size effect on nominal stress-longitudinal displacement relationships, nominal axial strength, nominal ultimate deflection and ductility index were investigated. The test results confirmed the presence of a size effect in both un-strengthened and strengthened CFST columns, with nominal strengths closely following Bažant's proposed "size effect law (SEL)". Finally, considering the influence of size effect, this study proposed axial force-bending moment (N-M) correlation curves for predicting the bearing capacity of strengthened CFST stub columns based on EC4, AISC-360, AIJ and GB 50936. Among these codes, AIJ provided the most accurate predictions when compared to the test results. Introducing the size effect coefficients mitigated the tendency to overestimate the load-bearing capacity of large-size retrofitted columns.
期刊介绍:
Engineering Structures provides a forum for a broad blend of scientific and technical papers to reflect the evolving needs of the structural engineering and structural mechanics communities. Particularly welcome are contributions dealing with applications of structural engineering and mechanics principles in all areas of technology. The journal aspires to a broad and integrated coverage of the effects of dynamic loadings and of the modelling techniques whereby the structural response to these loadings may be computed.
The scope of Engineering Structures encompasses, but is not restricted to, the following areas: infrastructure engineering; earthquake engineering; structure-fluid-soil interaction; wind engineering; fire engineering; blast engineering; structural reliability/stability; life assessment/integrity; structural health monitoring; multi-hazard engineering; structural dynamics; optimization; expert systems; experimental modelling; performance-based design; multiscale analysis; value engineering.
Topics of interest include: tall buildings; innovative structures; environmentally responsive structures; bridges; stadiums; commercial and public buildings; transmission towers; television and telecommunication masts; foldable structures; cooling towers; plates and shells; suspension structures; protective structures; smart structures; nuclear reactors; dams; pressure vessels; pipelines; tunnels.
Engineering Structures also publishes review articles, short communications and discussions, book reviews, and a diary on international events related to any aspect of structural engineering.
