Modified blind bolts (Hollo-Bolt) and a locally strengthened steel tube column in the panel zone were created to overcome the moment-resisting problem for the bolted connections between concrete-filled hollow section columns and open section beams and to enhance the performance of connections. The cyclic loading was conducted on a total of six modified anchored blind bolted flush end-plate connections to concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns. The key parameters investigated were the tube wall thickness, end-plate thickness, blind bolt anchorage method, and beam section. The failure mode, hysteretic behavior, strength, stiffness, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity of the connections were analyzed and evaluated with all details. The results indicated that connections with modified anchored blind bolts and locally strengthened steel tubes could avoid the premature failure of CFST column and exhibit an improved behavior with a favorable strength, stiffness, and stiffness degradation. The test observations reveal two representative failure modes, and the tube wall thickness and blind bolt anchorage method have a significant effect on the resultant failure mode. Moreover, the use of thin endplate and weak beam can effectively enhance the hysteretic behavior of joints, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity; and the change in anchoring method has little effect on the stiffness. Finite element (FE) analysis models were established for the aforementioned connections. The numerical models were validated against the experimental results and exhibited good agreement. Finally, based on the component method, an initial stiffness calculation method was established for the connections.

This paper refers to currently the 1.5MW cone tube type wind-driven generator tower, design the model of the concrete-filled steel tube wind turbine tower with three limb columns, and research on the force performance, such as the change of internal force, the process of failure, hysteretic behavior, bearing capacity, ductility and energy dissipation capacity by the pseudo-static experiment on the scale model of wind turbine tower. The study shows that the P- hysteretic curve of lattice concrete-filled steel tube wind-driven generator tower with three limb columns is asymmetric, relatively full “spindle” and the phenomenon of “knead shrink” is not obvious, which account for it has good force behavior and energy dissipation capacity. This kind of tower structure, of which the reverse bearing capacity is greater than the positive, and the reverse ductility coefficient is less than the positive, indicates that it’s reverse plastic deformation ability of the tower structure is weaker than it’s positive.

In this study, two types of novel box connections were developed to connect precast concrete (PC) columns and to ensure load transfer integrity. Cyclic loading tests were conducted to investigate the seismic behavior of the PC columns with proposed connections as well as the feasibility and reliability of novel box connections. The failure mode, hysteretic behavior, bearing capacity, ductility, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation were obtained and discussed. The test results indicated that the all PC columns exhibited the ductile flexural failure mode and that the proposed connections could transfer the force effectively. The adoption of novel box connections could improve the deformation capacity and energy dissipation capacity of PC columns. A higher axial compression ratio could enhance the bearing capacity of PC column with proposed connection but would significantly deteriorate the ductility and energy dissipation capacity. Finite element models were developed and the feasibility of the models was verified by the comparison with the test results.

Square Steel Tube

The tests on thirteen specimens of casing joints of square steel tube were conducted to investigate the flexural behavior of the joints. And numerical simulation studies on that were carried out by ANSYS/LS-DYNA. On this basis, effects of tube wall thickness, tube edge length, and inserting depth on failure mode, ultimate flexural capacity and deformation of the joints were discussed. The results show that there are two types of failure modes, i.e., inside tube yield failure and outside tube shear failure. Ultimate flexural capacity and rigidity of the joints increased with the inserting depth increasing. The ultimate flexural capacity is proportional to tube shear strength, tube wall thickness, inserting depth, and tube edge length.

The study on tension behavior of casing and dowel joint of square steel tube was carried out by using finite element analysis software ANSYS/LS-DYNA with consideration of geometric nonlinearity, material nonlinearity and contact nonlinearity. On this basis, the effects of inside tube wall thickness, main tube wall thickness, and inserting depth on failure mode, ultimate tensile load and deformation of casing and dowel joint of square steel tube was discussed. The results show that there are three types of failure modes, i.e., bolt failure, inside tube failure and main tube failure, when the joints are subjected to axial tension force. Compare to the joint with the same wall thickness of inside tube and main tube, the reduction of wall thickness of inside tube or main tube will weaken greatly the ultimate tensile load of the joint. The ultimate tensile load of casing and dowel joints is proportional to bolt shear strength, tube wall thickness, inserting depth, and tube edge length. The fruits are useful to the design and application of casing and dowel joints of square steel tube.

Diagrid Structure

Inclined concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns in a diagrid structure system can efficiently carry large vertical loads and horizontal forces. This paper presents an experimental study of the stress characteristics of engineered inclined CFST columns under axial cyclic loading. Ten specimens were tested, including two hollow steel tube (HST) columns and eight CFST columns, and the influences of loading scheme, aspect ratio, concrete strength, and steel ratio were examined. The seismic behaviours were investigated, including mechanical behaviour, failure modes and hysteretic curves, and ductility, and the interaction between the steel tube and concrete was examined as well. Better ductility and energy dissipation capacity are achieved in the tension direction, whereas higher bearing capacity and stiffness are achieved in the compression direction. Compared with hollow steel tube columns, the supporting effect of concrete on the steel tube for CFST columns in tension and the restraining effect of the steel tube on concrete for CFST columns in compression ensure higher capacity, deformability, and energy dissipation capacity.

Eccentric Compression

FRP-concrete-steel tubular (FCS) composite columns are composed of the external tube, the internal steel tube, and the concrete between both tubes. They have been attracting the attention of many researchers due to their high ductility, lightweight, resistance to corrosion, and easiness of construction. However, there are few studies on FRP-concrete-steel tubular composite columns under eccentric load. To investigate the behavior of composite columns under the eccentric compression, a non-linear analysis program for FCS composite columns was compiled. The program was verified by existing tests, and the influences of eccentricity, FRP tube wall thickness, steel tube wall thickness, steel tube radius, slenderness ratio, and concrete strength grade on the eccentric compression performance were systematically analyzed. The results showed that the calculated results were in good agreement with the experimental results. It showed that the program can accurately reflect the deformation of FCS composite columns under various loads and estimate the ultimate load of FCS composite columns under eccentric compression. The eccentric ultimate load increased with the decrease of eccentricity and slenderness ratio, and with the increase of FRP tube wall thickness, steel tube wall thickness, and concrete strength grade. The ultimate eccentric load decreased with the increase of steel tube radius, but when the steel tube wall thickness reached a certain thickness, the ultimate eccentric load of FCS composite columns increases with the increase of steel tube radius. The conclusion can provide reference for the practical application of the structure.

As a key part in concrete-filled steel tubular frames, the seismic behavior of joints between concrete-filled steel tubes and beams needs more research because of the complexity of stress under the reciprocating load. the behavior of 9 strengthened joints connecting concrete-filled steel tube with H-shaped steel beam have been analyzed under reversed cyclic loading condition by using finite element analysis software ANSYS, and the result show that: (1) The ultimate bearing capacity, energy dissipation capacity and ductility of strengthened joint are obvious better than that of ordinary welded joint; (2) Compared to concrete-filled steel tube the ultimate bearing capacity, energy dissipation capacity and ductility of double-layer concrete-filled steel tubes are better; (3) For the joints connecting double-layer concrete-filled steel tubes with beams, the shape of inner tube have certain effect on the ultimate bearing capacity but little on the energy dissipation capacity and ductility. (4) The shape of stiffened plate has significant influence on the ultimate bearing capacity, energy dissipation capacity and ductility of nodes.
