Abstract
Concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns are susceptible to transverse impact and catastrophic fracture failure might trigger progressive collapse of entire buildings. This paper aims to predict CFST failure modes (bending deformation, crack and fracture) and conduct reliability evaluation implementing intelligent algorithms. Fixed-supported CFST impact samples were gathered, which contain 10 inputs and 3 outputs (crack deflection, fracture deflection and maximum deflection). Results indicated that support vector regression (SVR) predicted three outputs optimally adopting RBF kernel function, and osprey optimization algorithm (OOA) optimizing SVR achieved more superior prediction than particle swarm optimization. Three output variables were utilized to identify CFST failure modes, OOA-SVR(R) possessed 97.70 % accuracy for 87 test samples. Monte Carlo sampling was conducted to estimate fracture vulnerability curves considering random distribution of input variables. Finally, a performance-based CFST design procedure was proposed, declining computational requirements and strengthening user-friendliness in contrast to conventional approaches.
