Description
Summary:This study introduces an innovative spiral stiffener to mitigate the local buckling issue of thin-walled steel tubular concrete. In response to diverse restraint forms, 5 distinct specimen types were designed to probe the eccentric compression test. behavior & failure modes of the composite member. Test results: Spiral ribs limit steel tube buckling between stiffeners, reduce degree. Vs. ord. concrete-filled steel tube, bearing cap. up from 932kN to 1119kN (20% growth), safety margin from 1.48 to 1.84 (24% incr.). An empirical analysis of impact parameters was conducted, revealing that the pitch($p$) and width-thickness ratio of the spiral rib(${b_{\rm{r}}}/{t_{\rm{r}}}$) had a more pronounced effect on the damage morphology of the specimen. Design recommendations were provided: the diameter-thickness ratio of the steel pipe(${d_{\rm{s}}}/{t_{\rm{s}}}$)was limited to 110–150, the reinforcement rate($\rho $) was between 0.8% and 2%, the pitch was 3.33 times the diameter of the specimen, and the width-thickness ratio of the spiral ribs was between 6 and 10. Through eccentricity(${e_0}/{r_c}$) analysis, the damage limitations of this new component were determined to be approximately 0.5 eccentricity for both large and small eccentricities. Finally, based on superposition theory, a formula for ecc. compressive bearing cap. of new member type is proposed.
