The design and behaviour of concrete filled steel tubular beam-columnsChao, Min, University of Western Sydney, Hawkesbury, Faculty of Science and Technology, School of Construction and Building Sciences January 2000 (has links)
Concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) columns are widely used in building and infrastructure projects throughout the world.Compared with other form of construction CFST columns offer superior structural performance and speed and ease of construction.Design procedures and recommendations provided in most of the design codes are often tedious and complex. There have been attempts to simplify the design procedure by providing a simplified expression to predict the capacity of a CFST under a general loading condition.In this thesis a rigorous analysis procedure was presented for the analysis of CFST beam-columns under general loading conditions.All the analytical results were verified by comparisons with the available test results and current ACI, AISC AND Eurocode 4 design codes. The comparisons demonstrated that the proposed numerical equations are accurate, and slightly conservative. Based on the numerical analysis, a simple and easy to follow calculation procedure was proposed for design of CFST columns under either uniaxial or biaxial bending moment and axial load. / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Uni-axial behaviour of concrete-filled-steel-tubular columns with external confinementDong, Chunxiao, 董春宵 January 2013 (has links)
This thesis studies the uni-axial behaviour of circular double-skinned concrete-filled-steel-tubular (CFST) columns with external confinement in form of external steel rings. Particular attention is paid to the experimental behaviour of double-skinned CFST columns and theoretical model for evaluating the loadcarrying capacity of un- and ring-confined double-skinned CFST columns.
Experimental studies on circular double-skinned CFST columns with various spacing of confinement, concrete strength and hollow ratio were conducted and discussed comprehensively. The mechanical properties of double-skinned CFST columns such as elastic stiffness, elastic strength, load-carrying capacity and ductility are presented. From the result, it is found that the elastic stiffness, elastic strength, load-carrying capacity and ductility are enhanced by installing the external steel rings to the outer tube as external confinement. To verify the effectiveness of external steel rings, the Poisson’s ratios of the double-skinned CFST columns are listed and found to be similar to that of concrete so that a perfect bonding is maintained. To emphasis the excellent performance of double-skinned CFST columns with external rings under uni-axial compression, the load-carrying capacity, elastic strength and elastic stiffness are compared to those of single-skinned CFST columns and reinforced concrete columns.
To fill up the gap that no design model is provided in Eurocode 4 (EC4) for confined double-skinned CFST columns, a theoretical model based on the force equilibrium condition is proposed for evaluating the load-carrying capacity of both un- and ring-confined double-skinned CFST columns. The model takes into account the composite action between the steel tubes and core concrete. To verify the proposed model, numerous test results obtained by the author and other researchers are used for comparing the theoretical results.
According to the above theoretical model above, a parametric study is carried out to investigate the effect of various geometry and material properties on the load-carrying capacity of double-skinned CFST columns. The confining pressure is expressed in terms of geometry and material factors. A simplified design formula is proposed to facilitate the preliminary design of double-skinned CFST columns with and without external confinement. / published_or_final_version / Civil Engineering / Master / Master of Philosophy

Initiation and propagation of corrosion in dry-cast reinforced concrete pipesUnknown Date (has links)
This study investigates corrosion initiation and propagation in instrumented specimens obtained from segments of dry-cast reinforced concrete pipes. Potential, LPR and EIS measurements were carried out. During the propagation stage in different exposures, reinforcement eventually reached negative potentials values, which suggest mass transfer limitations. So far these specimens show no visual signs of corrosion such as cracks or corrosion products with one exception; where corrosion products have reached the surface. Moreover, the apparent corrosion rate values obtained suggest high corrosion rate. No crack appearance so far, could be explained by the high porosity of the specimens; the corrosion products are filling these pores. It is speculated that although, there might be mass transfer limitations present, the current demanded by the anode is being balanced by a larger cathode area due to macrocell effects, since the high moisture conditions likely reduced the concrete resistivity and increased the throwing power. / by Hariharan Balasubramanian. / Thesis (M.S.C.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2013. / Includes bibliography. / Mode of access: World Wide Web. / System requirements: Adobe Reader.

Accelerated corrosion of steel in dry-cast reinforced concrete pipes after initiationUnknown Date (has links)
Instrumented dry-cast reinforced concrete pipe (DC-RCP) specimens in which
corrosion of the reinforcing steel had initiated were selected to accelerate the corrosion.
Type C and type F DC-RCP were used. An anodic current density of various magnitudes
(0.5 μA/cm2, 1 μA/cm2 and 2.5 μA/cm2) was applied during the corrosion propagation
stage. The specimens were placed in high humidity and selected specimens were later
covered with wet sand. Selected specimens were terminated for visual examination and
gravimetric analysis. Typically, the reinforcement potentials during the accelerated
corrosion period were more negative for F specimens compared to C specimens. The C
specimens experienced ~2× more corrosion than the F specimens. The accumulated
corrosion products did not cause cracks. A method was developed that allows for modest
corrosion acceleration during the corrosion propagation stage of DC-RCP. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Initiation and propagation of corrosion in dry-cast reinforced concrete ring specimensUnknown Date (has links)
The corrosion propagation stage of D-CRP (types F and C) was tested under
immersion in water, high humidity, and covered with wet sand. The half-cell potential,
linear polarization test, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements were
performed. Selected specimens were terminated after 300 days of exposure and visually
inspected. Based on corrosion potential measurements obtained during the corrosion
propagation observation, and calculated corrosion rate based on LPR measurements: all
specimens were actively corroding. Additionally, EIS-Rc values were calculated for FS,
CS and CH specimens. The Rc_EIS were generally greater than Rc_LPR values. EIS
spectra for CI and FI specimens usually included mass transport limitations, as these
specimens were immersed. Both type of specimens immersed in water (FI and CI), appeared to have higher corrosion rate based on LPR-Rc. However, upon autopsy
it was revealed that a more modest amount of corrosion occurred on the reinforcing steel
of FI and CI terminated specimens. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
