摘要
The mechanical properties of CFRP-confined rectangular concrete-filled stainless steel tube(CFSST)stub columns under axial compression were experimentally studied.A total of 28 specimens(7 groups)were fabricated for the axial compression test to study the influences of length-to-width ratio,CFRP constraint coefficient,and the thickness of stainless steel tube on the axial compression behavior.The specimen failure modes,the stress development of stainless steel tube and CFRP wrap,and the load-strain ratio curves in the loading process were obtained.Meanwhile,the relationship between axial and transverse deformations of each specimen was analyzed through the typical relative load-strain ratio curves.A bearing capacity prediction method was proposed based on the twin-shear strength theory,combining the limit equilibrium state of the CFRP-confined CFSST stub column under axial compression.The prediction method was calibrated by the test data in this study and other literature.The results show that the prediction method is of high accuracy.
