Abstract
The torsional performance of steel-reinforced concrete-filled (circular) stainless steel tubular (SRCFSST) specimens was evaluated through experiments on fourteen specimens, including circular SRCFSST specimens and their concrete-filled (circular) stainless steel tubular (CFSST) counterparts. Embedding carbon profiled steel (CPS) increased the torsional resistance and stiffness of circular CFSST specimens by up to 27.2 % and 37.8 %, respectively. The CPS effectively delayed the propagation of concrete cracks. A finite element (FE) model was built for torsional analysis of circular SRCFSST specimens, and the simulation results agreed well with the test data. The mechanism analysis demonstrated that the CPS enhanced the confinement effect, leading to a significant increase (32.6 %) in the shear resistance of concrete. FE parametric analysis further revealed that both torsional stiffness and resistance increased with increasing steel ratios. Finally, simplified models were developed for predicting the torsional stiffness and resistance of circular SRCFSST specimens.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Constructional Steel Research provides an international forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest developments in structural steel research and their applications. It is aimed not only at researchers but also at those likely to be most affected by research results, i.e. designers and fabricators. Original papers of a high standard dealing with all aspects of steel research including theoretical and experimental research on elements, assemblages, connection and material properties are considered for publication.
