Abstract
The proposed new structure of filling the steel pipe with large-size recycled aggregate not only improves the overall load-bearing capacity of the member, but also provides new ideas for the reuse of waste aggregate and environmental protection. In this paper, waste aggregates with particle size in the range of 90–110 mm are selected, and the compressive properties of recycled large-aggregate self-compacting concrete-filled steel tube (RLA-SCCFST) are modeled and analyzed by correcting the core concrete constitutive relationship and using the finite element simulation software MIDAS FEA NX, and the results are verified by comparing the results with the experimental data. Through a simple parametric analysis of common influencing factors such as steel content, yield strength of steel, and strength of recycled large aggregates (RLA) in actual projects, to assess their impact on the structural performance of RLA-SCCFST, to provide a reference basis for designers to make reasonable choices, and to ensure the safety of the structure, the results show that the improved core concrete principal relationship can significantly improve the simulation accuracy of RLA-SCCFST. Among the selected influencing factors, the steel content and yield strength of steel significantly improve the compressive strength of RLA-SCCFST. When the steel content increases from 6 to 10.1% and 15.6%, the bearing capacity under axial compression increases by 23.7% and 47.8%, and the bearing capacity under load eccentricity of 30 mm increases by 30.2% and 52.1%. When the yield strength of steel changed from 235 to 355 MPa, the ultimate bearing capacity under axial compression increased by 19.5%, and when the load eccentricity was 30 mm, the ultimate bearing capacity increased by 23.6%. Through the above research, the database of RLA-SCCFST is enriched, and the research on RLA-SCCFST is expanded, which provides reference value for the utilization of waste aggregate and resource sustainability in the future.
