Elasto-plastic analysis of concrete-filled circular steel tubular stub columns after exposed to high temperatures

Based on the research achievements of the mechanical properties of concrete at uniaxial compression and steel at uniaxial tension after exposed to high temperatures, the axisymmetrictriaxial-compressive stress-strain relationships of concrete and multiaxial stress-strain relationships of steel after exposed to high temperatures was suggested. Based on continuum mechanics, the mechanical model of concentric cylinders of circular steel tube with concrete core of entire section loaded after exposed to high temperature was determined. By applying Elasto-Plastic Analysis Method, theoretical calculation formulas for composite elastic modulus and composite stress-strain relationships of concrete-filled circular steel tubular (CFST) stub columns were proposed and a FORTRAN program was developed and the load-axial strain relationships of CFST stub columns after exposed to high temperatures were analyzed. The analysis results were in reasonable agreement with the experiment ones from references.
