Strength of Concrete Filled Historic Cast-Iron Columns
Cast-iron columns were used in many industrial and public buildings erected from about 1800 until the early 1900s. During renovation of these old buildings the load carrying capacity has to be checked again and if it fails following the higher load it's obvious to fill the mainly hollow columns with concrete to increase the ultimate load capacity. Because of the special material properties of structural cast-iron it is not possible to determine the capacity of these columns with simple design rules based on present design codes for composite structures e.g. DIN EN 1994-1-1 or the German code DIN 18800-5. As part of a general investigation on historic cast-iron columns a number of tests and numerical calculations have been carried out to clarify the special behaviour of concrete-filled cast-iron columns. Additionally, the bond strength between concrete and the inner surface of the columns was determined by push-out tests.
