Experimental Study on the Seismic Performance of L-Shaped CFST Columns in Different Combinations
L-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns represent a valuable structural element with an L-shaped cross-section, primarily employed in the corner columns of framed structures. These columns offer several advantages, including space efficiency by avoiding column protrusion, robust mechanical properties, high load-bearing capacity, ductility, and efficient utilization of internal building space. This article presents the outcomes of an experimental investigation into the seismic behavior of L-shaped CFST columns. The experimental study investigated the seismic performance of nine L-shaped CFST columns while considering different cross-sectional dimensions, their combinations, and varying levels of confinement. The results obtained from this study indicate that L-shaped CFST columns possess favorable seismic performance characteristics. However, there exists the potential for significant improvement by modifying certain parameters. Enhancements in seismic performance were observed when increasing the cross-sectional dimensions of the column and the length of its legs. The use of steel tubes and the provision of adequate confinement also demonstrated notable benefits. Moreover, the better arrangement of steel tubes within the column positively influenced seismic performance. These findings can potentially inform and enhance the design of L-shaped CFST columns, rendering them more resilient to seismic forces.
