Abstract:

The instability damage modes of rectangle concrete-filled steel tube (RCFST) columns that are subjected to eccentric compression can be divided into two types based on the modified Jezek analytical procedure, namely, the eccentricity ratio ( γ ) and the slenderness ratio ( λ ) coupling effect. The RCFST columns have unilateral compression yield failure mode when γ is small. However, it has compressive and tensile mode on both sides when the value of γ is large. In this work, parametric analyses were performed to test 32 RCFST long columns by varying γ with different λ combinations. From the analysis, it was found that the results of the theoretical analysis of the load-tension strain ( P-ε ) responses and the instability modes of the RCFST long columns are similar to the experimental results. Further, the proposed analytical method aids in better understanding the effects of γ and λ coupling on the stability behavior of the RCFST columns.
