Abstract
Fire is one of the serious incidents occurring in the construction phase of Ultra-High Performance Concrete filled steel tubes (UHPCFST) columns, which may cause damage to materials, delays to construction and risk to life. This paper investigates the high temperature performance of UHPCFST columns at different concrete ages to simulate the occurrence of fire at construction phase. Axial compression experiments on 24 stub columns are conducted to investigate the effect of temperature levels, age of UHPC on the mechanical response of the UHPCFST columns at different construction stages. The findings reveal that the bearing capacity of the UHPCFST stub columns shows an increase and then a decrease with rising temperatures, and columns of earlier age exhibit a greater increase in fire-resistance bearing capacity. Notably, the load-bearing capacity at room temperature increase with the age of UHPC. At 300 ℃, a marginal increment in capacity correlating with age is observed, whereas at 700 ℃, there is a slight decline. Furthermore, the incorporation of coarse aggregate substantially contributes to the augmentation of load-bearing capabilities across diverse conditions. Meanwhile, a formula for calculating the load bearing capacity and equivalent stress-strain curve of UHPCFST stub columns under elevated temperature at different concrete ages is proposed and validated. This research is expected to provide valuable insights for assessing fire safety and reliability of UHPCFST structure in construction settings.
期刊介绍:
Construction and Building Materials offers an international platform for sharing innovative and original research and development in the realm of construction and building materials, along with their practical applications in new projects and repair practices. The journal publishes a diverse array of pioneering research and application papers, detailing laboratory investigations and, to a limited extent, numerical analyses or reports on full-scale projects. Multi-part papers are discouraged.
Additionally, Construction and Building Materials features comprehensive case studies and insightful review articles that contribute to new insights in the field. Our focus is on papers related to construction materials, excluding those on structural engineering, geotechnics, and unbound highway layers. Covered materials and technologies encompass cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials, and applications in railway materials.
