Performance of CFST members internally strengthened with I-shaped CFRP under impact load
Abstract This study presents experimental and numerical research on the dynamic behaviors and resistances of square concrete-filled steel tubular members internally strengthened by I-shaped CFRP profile (SCFST-CFRP) with fixed boundary conditions subjected to lateral impact loads. Dynamic impact tests were conducted on five SCFST-CFRP specimens and a traditional concrete-filled steel tubular (SCFST) specimen, examining their dynamic responses with respect to deformation modes, impact force, displacement, and strain distribution at different levels of impact energies and impact momentums. The test results indicated that the deformation of the specimens was concentrated in the impact region, approximately 0.38 L above the base, due to the transient localized characteristics of the lateral impact load. In terms of displacement and impact force, the SCFST-CFRP member exhibited better impact resistance compared to the SCFST member. Finite element models of the SCFST-CFRP members were created using LS-DYNA and validated against the impact tests. These validated models were then utilized to explore the damage patterns, dynamic bending moment, and load transfer mechanism of the SCFST-CFRP member under lateral impact loading. Additionally, a parametric study was conducted to evaluate the effects of load and structural parameters, including CFRP profile, impact energy, and impact momentum, on the impact resistance and dynamic flexural capacity of the SCFST-CFRP member. The results demonstrate that the enhancement in impact resistance caused by the inner CFRP profile was more significant under higher impact energy. Based on the parametric analysis results, empirical equations were proposed to predict the dynamic flexural capacity of lateral impact-loaded SCFST-CFRP members.
Highlights Impact tests of CFST member strengthened with CFRP profile under fixed boundaries. Evolutions and distributions of deformation and internal force were summarized. Impact load transfer mechanisms of the composite member were revealed. Effects of load and structural parameters on the impact resistance were evaluated. An equation for the dynamic flexural capacity of the composite member was proposed.
