Compressive Stiffness of CFDST Columns
Columns are more critical in structural frames in earthquake regions, they must exhibit good ductility during an earthquake (Kenji et al. in J Struct Eng 130:180–188, 2004). Based on achievements of CFST columns,...

Ring Beam Joints to RC Beams
As we all know that there was severe damage of beam-to-column connections especially in the regions with high seismicity, such as Northridge of the United States, Hanshin of Japan and Wenchuan of China (Popov ...

Chapter
Frame Joint Forms in CFDST Structures
The CFDST column consists of an inner tube and an outer tube (Type a,b in Fig. 1.7), which are both filled with concrete. After discussion of the axial bearing capacity and stiffness, CFDST has been confirmed ...

Introductions
This chapter reviews the development of Concrete-Filled Steel Tube (CFST) including the beam-to-column connection types in CFST moment frames. As CFST has been used widely in high-rise buildings and long-span ...

External Diaphragm Joints to Steel Beams
A large number of external diaphragm joints in CFST structures have been tested under a variety of conditions. For example, Wang et al. (2008) and Zhang et al. (2012) conducted a pilot study of eight external dia...

Blind Bolted T-Plate Joints in Prefabricated Construction
Comparing to modern reinforced concrete columns, the CFDST column can be constructed without additional supporting equipment during casting concrete, so it is also a good choice for prefabricated buildings to ...

Chapter
Analysis of Axial Bearing Capacity
In the reinforced CFST, there are more than one steel tube to confine the concrete, so its compressive behavior is different from the ordinary CFST. Compressive strength is an important parameter for structura...

Vertical Stiffener Joints to Steel Beams
Miao (2004) and Chen and Miao (2005) studied the vertical stiffener joints for the square CFST column respectively. Those analysis results showed that vertical stiffener joints with simple and reasonable construc...

Anchored Web Joints with Haunches
Among the beam-to-CFST column connections, through-beam joint is one effective rigid connection, which has been investigated by experimental study and finite element (FE) analysis (Alostaz and Schneider 1996; Azi...
