Abstract:
This paper compiled an experimental database consisting of 320 square concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) beam- columns subjected to cyclic loading. Approximately 82 % of these specimens were conventional-strength CFTs, revealing a significant lack of test data for high-strength CFTs. According to the current AISC Specification (AISC 360-16), CFTs are classified into three categories based on the width-to-thickness ratio (b/t): compact, noncompact, and slender sections. Notably, there is a gap in research regarding the seismic behavior of non- compact and slender CFTs. To address this gap, detailed finite element (FE) models were developed and validated. Based on the benchmarked model, an additional 156 high-strength concrete-filled high-strength steel (HS- HC) models were introduced to supplement data for high-strength square concrete-filled steel tube (HS-SCFT) members with slender and noncompact sections. Combined with the experimental database and the FE analysis, the calculation method for the strength of HS-SCFT beam-columns as outlined in AISC 360-16 and GB50936 was evaluated. The results indicated that the axial load (N) calculated according to GB50936 was more conservative for compact sections, whereas the N calculated using AISC 360-16 was more conservative for slender sections. Additionally, the flexural strength (M) calculated using AISC 360-16 demonstrated the best agreement with experimental results, while the M calculations from GB50936 exhibited greater dispersion. A new simplified method for calculating the load-displacement skeleton curve of HS-SCFT beam-columns was proposed considering the effect of critical parameters. The findings indicated that the proposed method effectively captures the behavior of HS-SCFT beam-columns under cyclic loading.
