Modelling and experimental verification on concrete-filled steel tubular columns with L or T section

Abstract

Concrete-filled steel tubular columns with L or T sections were analyzed in this paper. According to the confining mechanism, the stress-strain constitutive model was put forward, and calculated results were compared with experimental records. After that, the hysteretic rules for the in-filled concrete were constructed, aiming at the analysis on the seismic behavior of composite members. The simulation analysis was performed by programming it in Fortran. The models in this paper can be applied in the program of time history analysis on tall buildings with concrete-filled steel tubular columns with L or T sections.
