Abstract:
This paper investigates the axial compressive behavior of an innovative composite wall consisting of stainlessclad bimetallic steel faceplates and ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) infill. The innovative wall can address three major challenges of traditional steel-concrete composite walls, i.e., rapid degradation of the lateral stiffness, insufficient ductility of the concrete infill, and limited corrosion resistance of steel faceplates. A total of 12 tests were first conducted, considering the effects of normalized faceplate slenderness ratio (7), concrete type, and steel type. Finite element models were then developed and benchmarked for parametric studies. Results from tests and parametric analysis showed that: (1) failure modes of the composite wall were local buckling of steel faceplate and concrete crushing; (2) increasing 7 significantly reduced the axial compressive strength of the composite wall and critical buckling stress of the steel faceplate, but had a negligible effect on the axial stiffness; (3) UHPC greatly improved the compressive strength and axial stiffness of the composite wall, but also resulted in a more brittle behavior. Finally, the applicability of current design provisions (i.e., CECS:546-2018, Eurocode 4, and AISC 360-22) for estimating the axial compressive strength was evaluated, and a new design equation was proposed.
