Abstract

The seismic behavior of circular concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns with inner latticed steel angles under combined axial load and reversed cyclic horizontal load was studied in this paper. A total of 8 specimens was tested, including two CFST specimens and six latticed steel angles reinforced CFST specimens. The main parameters studied were the diameter-to-thickness ratio of steel tube, the cross-sectional area of inner latticed steel angles and the axial compression ratio. Firstly, the load-displacement curves and load-strain curves were obtained experimentally; secondly, the failure modes, hysteretic behavior, skeleton curves, stiffness degradation, ductility index, hysteretic energy dissipation capacity were analyzed; thirdly, the seismic performance of the tested specimens were simulated by the established finite element (FE) models, and parametric studies were subsequently performed; finally, the modified calculation method for the horizontal bearing capacity was proposed. The research results showed that the failure of the composite columns was caused by the local buckling of the latticed steel angles and steel tube, and the latticed steel angles could effectively participate in the overall loading process. It was also found that latticed steel angles are able to improve the energy dissipation capacity.
