Test on Compressive Performance of Hollow Concrete-Filled Sandwich Circular Steel Tubes Connected by Thread

Abstract

The connection method of lengthening the steel tube of hollow concrete-filled sandwich circular steel tubes and threaded connections is proposed. The length, depth and position are the basic parameters. Twelve hollow concrete sandwich circular steel pipes with threaded connections were designed and subjected to axial compression tests. The axial compressive loading–longitudinal compressive displacement curves, axial compressive loading strain of steel tube curves and failure mode of the specimens are analyzed, and the effects of different parameters on the axial compressive-bearing capacity and stiffness of the specimens are studied. The results showed that within the range of parameters studied, the axial compression load–longitudinal compression displacement curves of the specimens were the linear elastic stage and the elastic–plastic stage, which can be divided into a yield-strengthening stage and a decreasing stage. The bearing capacity and strength of the lined threaded connection specimen are not inferior to those of the ordinary specimen or the welded specimen. The bearing capacity and strength of the specimen increase with the increase of the thread length. The bearing capacity and strength of the specimens connected with inner liner screws at the ends are higher than those connected with inner liner bolts at the middle.
