T-Cleat Connections to Concrete-Filled Tubular Internal Columns
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 130, Issue 5
Abstract
Tests have been carried out on four full-scale composite connection specimens. The specimens were made by connecting two unsymmetrically loaded steel beams to concrete-filled rectangular hollow section tubular columns. The columns were hence subjected to axial loading and bending moments, and thus represented internal columns in multistory buildings. Columns and beam loads were increased proportionately up to failure, and both column and connection behavior were observed and recorded. The experimental failure loads and column behavior are compared against the predictions of a three-dimensional finite-element (FE) model, using a general purpose FE software.
