Bearing capacity of rectangular concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) and dumbbell shaped CFST under axial compression, eccentric compression, and pure bending stress states

Abstract

The fiber model method utilizes material constitutive relationships and internal force synthesis techniques to accurately and conveniently determine the internal force of the section, without the need to establish an element stiffness matrix. It is simple and practical and has been widely used in the bearing capacity analysis of concrete-filled steel tubes (CFST). The material constitutive relationship is an important factor determining the calculation accuracy of the fiber model method. This article studies and establishes a modified model for the constitutive relationship of CFST materials, and establishes the fiber model method for the mechanical performance analysis of rectangular CFST and dumbbell CFST, respectively. Based on the geometric size parameters and material strength parameters (such as "length", "Diameter", "Width", "Thickness", "Yield strength", "Compressive strength", etc.) in the experimental database, the fiber model method is used to calculate the bearing capacity of the component and compare it with the "Test values" in the experimental data to verify the calculation accuracy and applicability of the fiber model method and the established constitutive relationship.

The test database contains a total of 6 tables. Table 1.1 shows the axial compression test database for rectangular sections, with a total of 428 sets of data; Table 1.2 shows the pure bending test database for rectangular sections, with a total of 84 sets of data; Table 1.3 shows the database of compression bending tests for rectangular sections, with a total of 208 sets of data. Table 2.1 shows the database of axial compression tests for dumbbell shaped sections, with a total of 20 sets of data; Table 2.2 shows the pure bending test database for dumbbell shaped sections, with a total of 4 sets of data; Table 2.3 shows the database of compression bending tests for dumbbell shaped sections, with a total of 30 sets of data.
