Experimental and numerical study on seismic performance of L-shaped multi-cellular CFST frames
Abstract Steel-concrete composite frames have been widely used in high-rise buildings. To improve the utilization efficiency of the indoor area, irregular-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns were proposed for an alternative of the traditional rectangular CFST columns. In this paper, the L-shaped multi-cellular CFST (LM-CFST) frame was proposed, consisting of LM-CFST columns and H-shaped steel beams. Firstly, four LM-CFST frames were tested under combined axial compression and cyclic lateral loads. The local buckling was observed at both the top and bottom ends of the column, and fracture of steel occurred when the drift ratio was large. The hysteresis curves were spindle-shaped with the ductility indexes of 2.61–3.24. Then, a refined finite element model was established and validated against the test results. A parametric analysis was conducted to study the effect of axial compression ratio, web cell length, concrete strength and steel tube thickness on the seismic performance of LM-CFST frames. It was found that the axial compression ratio could affect the seismic performance of LM-CFST frames significantly, while the concrete strength had little effect. Finally, the compression-bending capacities obtained from the sectional analysis method specified in EC4 were compared with those obtained from tests. It was found that this method could predict the compression-bending capacity of the LM-CFST frame under combined axial compression and cyclic lateral loads with reasonable discrepancies.
Highlights Four 1/2 scale LM-CFST frames were tested under combined axial compression and cyclic loads. The failure modes and hysteretic responses were discussed. A validated FE model was established for further investigation. A parametric analysis was conducted to investigate the influence on the seismic performance of the LM-CFST frames. A simplified method was proposed to evaluate the compression-bending capacity of the LM-CFST frame.
