Abstract:
Experiments on CFST arch and hybrid arch of steel tube and CFST under unsymmetrical two concentrically in-plane loads were carried out. The deflections, strains of steel tube, effect of material non-linearity, geometrical non-linearity and the effect of filled concrete to the ultimate load-carrying capacity of tubular arch were analyzed. The analytical results showed that the promotion effect of the filled concrete on the ultimate load-carrying capacity of tubular arch is closely related to the loading cases. When the loads produce bending moments as the dominant forces in the arch, the promotion effect is rather small; however, when the loads produce axial compressive forces as the dominant ones, the promotion effect becomes large. In the whole process of the tubular arches, the effect of material non-linearity is more important than that of geometrical non-linearity. If both nonlinearities are present, they should be considered all together, since the effects are compounded. For a hybrid arch, the behavior of the hollow steel tubular rib near the end of the CFST arch rib is quite complex.
