Abstract:
To study the mechanical behavior of recycled aggregate concrete-filled circular steel tube (RACFCST) columns under eccentric loading, 15 specimens with different replacement ratio of recycled coarse aggregate, slenderness ratio and eccentricity were tested under the monotonic static loading. The failure modes were observed, and then the curve of the entire loading process as well as the strain distribution over the cross section were obtained. The influence of varying parameters on the mechanical behavior of RACFCST columns was analyzed, and then the ultimate bearing capacity was calculated using existing theories. It is shown that about the failure process and failure mode RACFCST columns are similar to the eccentrically loaded concrete-filled circular steel tube columns, in which the circular steel tube fails eventually in the drum-like buckling mode. It is found that RACFCST columns have high bearing capacity and good deformation performance, and the influences of eccentricity and slenderness ratio on the mechanical behavior of RACFCST columns are obvious, while the influence of aggregate replacement ratio is comparatively unobvious.
