Analysis on Seismic Performance of Steel-Reinforced Concrete-Filled Circular Steel Tubular (SRCFST) Members Subjected to Post-Fire

Abstract

Steel-reinforced concrete-filled steel tubular (SRCFST) columns have a great development prospect in engineering practice due to their high load-bearing capacity, good ductility, and energy consumption capacity. This paper established the post-fire seismic analysis model of SRCFST with a circular-cased H section using the sequential coupled thermal-stress method by ABAQUS. The P-Δ curve, stiffness, ductility, and energy dissipation were calculated. Then, the post-fire seismic performance of CFST members was compared while keeping the total steel ratio constant, and it revealed that the SRCFST had superior ductility to CFST. Finally, the ductility coefficient and skeleton curve were parametrically evaluated. The results of the study showed that the effects of heating time (th), axial compression ratio (n), slenderness ratio (λ), and steel tube ratio (αt) on the skeleton line of SRCFST columns are more significant; the axial compression ratio (n), slenderness ratio (λ), and steel tube ratio (αt) have a negative influence on the ductility subjected to post-fire.
