Abstract:
This study investigated the flexural behavior of rectangular ultra-high performance concrete-filled high-strength steel tube (CuFTh) members. A total of 11 tests were conducted. The influence of yield stress of steel (Fy), steel fiber volume content of UHPC (& rho;), height (H) of steel tube, and thickness of steel tube wall (t) was investigated. 3D finite-element models were developed and benchmarked to conduct parametric studies. Results from the experimental tests and FEM analyses indicated that: (i) Fy, t, and H have a significant influence on the flexural strength, while the compressive strength of concrete has a negligible impact; and (ii) increasing & rho; slightly improves the flexural strength, but obviously reduces the ductility. Additionally, results from the experimental tests and FEM analyses were compared with the strength estimated using AISC 360-16, GB 50936-2014, Eurocode 4, and AIJ. The comparisons showed that Eurocode 4 and AISC 360-16 can reasonably estimate the flexural strength of rectangular CuFTh members. AIJ is recommended for predicting the service-level flexural stiffness of rectangular CuFTh members.
