Abstract:
To investigate the mechanical behavior of ultra-high-strength concrete (UHSC) filled steel tubular (UHSC-FST) lattice columns under eccentric loading, this study conducted experiments on 14 UHSC-FST lattice columns with varying slenderness ratios and eccentricities. Failure modes, load-displacement, load-strain, and lacing tube strain curves were analyzed. Results revealed distinct failure modes: local buckling for columns with a slenderness ratio of 4 and overall buckling for those with a slenderness ratio of 19. As slenderness ratios and eccentricities increased, the elastic stage proportion decreased, while the elasto-plastic stage proportion grew. The lacing tubes in all specimens exhibited low stress, remaining in the elastic stage. A validated finite element model simulated slenderness ratios from 4 to 49, concrete strengths from 30 to 150 MPa, and eccentricities from 0 to 1.5. Simulations showed that at eccentricities above 1 or slenderness ratios >= 39, the influence of concrete strength on ultimate bearing capacity diminished. Interaction between slenderness ratio and eccentricity affected ultimate capacity but was limited. Based on experimental and simulation data, existing methods for calculating stability and ultimate capacity were verified for accuracy. A novel calculation method suitable for UHSC-FST lattice columns was determined, offering high precision, alignment with physical mechanisms, and practicality for engineering applications.
