Abstract

Eight stiffened T-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns and one non-stiffened T-shaped CFST column were tested subjected to axial compressive load in this paper. The mechanical property and failure mode of the specimens were studied. The influences of steel ratio, concrete strength and sectional size were investigated on the axial compressive performance of the specimens. A numerical program was developed to calculate concentric load-shortening curves of T-shaped CFST columns based on experimental results. The confined concrete distribution in T-shaped section and the stiffened tube’s local buckling were considered in the numerical program. A good agreement between calculating results and experimental results was obtained. Besides, a design formula of bearing capacity of stiffened T-shaped CFST columns was put forward by considering favorable effect of stiffeners.
