EVALUATION OF CONFINED CONCRETE BEHAVIOR IN CONCRETE-FILLIED STEEL COLUMNS
Abstract
Concrete-filled steel columns stand out in the construction industry due to their advantages, such as high load-bearing capacity and deformation. This study aimed to investigate the behavior of concrete confinement in composite columns under different parametric conditions, using numerical simulations via the ABAQUS software. It was observed that confined concrete increases the compression strength of the column; however, this is accompanied by a loss of ductility as the strength of the concrete increases. It was also observed that columns with slimmer proportions tend to exhibit global instability before complete confinement of the concrete core occurs. These findings underscore the importance of considering such aspects in the design and sizing of composite columns to ensure the safety and efficiency of confined concrete structures.
