Abstract
Confinement from steel tube to concrete core is generally low in square concrete‐filled steel tubular (CFST) columns compared with their circular counterparts. To improve it, a new confining measure based on high‐strength steel wire meshes (SWMs) has been proposed in this study. Different from traditional measures usually confining the concrete core from outside of it, the SWM confines the concrete core from inside of it by utilizing interaction force between SWM and concrete. Axial compression test on short SWM reinforced CFST columns was conducted to examine the efficiency of SWM. The test results demonstrated that the compressive load‐carrying capacity of the square CFST column could be improved by 21.7% with a steel wire ratio of 1.54%. Finite element analysis was carried out to investigate some mechanical behaviors that were not captured in the test. It was revealed that the strength of SWM can be fully utilized, provided the entire section of concrete is reinforced by SWM and the SWM is placed along the middle half‐part of column. Based on the results of this study, the use of high‐strength SWM is proved an effective measure to improve the compressive performance of square CFST columns.
期刊介绍:
The Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings provides structural engineers and contractors with a detailed written presentation of innovative structural engineering and construction practices for tall and special buildings. It also presents applied research on new materials or analysis methods that can directly benefit structural engineers involved in the design of tall and special buildings. The editor''s policy is to maintain a reasonable balance between papers from design engineers and from research workers so that the Journal will be useful to both groups. The problems in this field and their solutions are international in character and require a knowledge of several traditional disciplines and the Journal will reflect this.
The main subject of the Journal is the structural design and construction of tall and special buildings. The basic definition of a tall building, in the context of the Journal audience, is a structure that is equal to or greater than 50 meters (165 feet) in height, or 14 stories or greater. A special building is one with unique architectural or structural characteristics.
However, manuscripts dealing with chimneys, water towers, silos, cooling towers, and pools will generally not be considered for review. The journal will present papers on new innovative structural systems, materials and methods of analysis.
