DESIGN METHODS FOR RECYCLED AGGREGATE CONCRETE-FILLED STEEL TUBE (RACFST) STUB COLUMNS UNDER CONCENTRIC COMPRESSION
Abstract
The confinement of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) has become an interesting alternative for its application in structures due to its greater deformability and lower resistance. Recycled Aggregate Concrete-Filled Steel Tube (RACFST) is an economical alternative to Concrete-Filled Steel Tube (CFST), in addition to reducing environmental impact and consumption of natural resources. However, the existing recommendations refer to CFST columns, while there is currently only one design standard for RACFST columns. The aim of this study is to determine the applicability of standards and methods from the literature in RACFST column design. For this, seven standards for CFST, one for RACFST and four methods from the literature for RACFST were tested on 97 experimental results of short RACFST columns. All standards were found to be efficient in calculating the load-bearing of RACFST columns, with the RAC compressive strength being the main parameter differentiating the methods. The confinement effect is taken into account in the methods in different ways, which also affects the load-bearing capacity of the RACFST columns.
