Research on Behavior of Composite Joints Consisting of Concrete and Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

A 3-D finite element model (FEM) using ABAQUS was established to simulate the performance of the composite joints with reinforced concrete and steel. Accurate material model, element type, and solution method were discussed in the model. Some composite joints, concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) column to steel beam, steel tube confined concrete (STCC) column to reinforced concrete (RC) beam and reinforced concrete (RC) column to steel beam were modeled based on the model, respectively. The results from FEM are good agreement with the test results. The mechanism of the composite joint was investigated based on the FEM.
