- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the behaviour of concrete-filled rectangular steel hollow structural section (HSS) columns formed by slender plates with large depth-to-width ratio subjected to bi-axial bending. As part of this study, four large concrete-filled thin-walled rib-stiffened rectangular HSS columns have been tested. Their steel tubes possess a depth-to-width ratio of 2.38 and a depth-to-thickness ratio of 175. Rib stiffeners were welded to the plate walls such that the stiffened plate width-to-thickness ratio (=45) was less than that specified (=60) in the Chinese design code. The results showed that local buckling of steel plate appeared after the specimen reached the ultimate capacity. Also, the fiber element analysis method is adapted to analyze the behaviour of specimen, in which the change of neutral axis position is considered. At last, the experimental results are compared with the values calculated from design codes, namely EC4, LRFD, CECS and DBJ. The results show that all codes provide safe ultimate capacities. Among them, the capacities calculated from DBJ yield results closest to the experimental ones and the other three design codes produce safety over 20%.
