Flexural Strength of Internally Stiffened Tubular Steel Beam Filled with Recycled Concrete Materials

The flexural strength of Slender steel tube sections is known to achieve significant improvements upon being filled with concrete material; however, this section is more likely to fail due to buckling under compression stresses. This study investigates the flexural behavior of a Slender steel tube b...

Flexural Strength of Internally Stiffened Tubular Steel Beam Filled with Recycled Concrete Materials
description The flexural strength of Slender steel tube sections is known to achieve significant improvements upon being filled with concrete material; however, this section is more likely to fail due to buckling under compression stresses. This study investigates the flexural behavior of a Slender steel tube beam that was produced by connecting two pieces of C-sections and was filled with recycled-aggregate concrete materials (CFST beam). The C-section’s lips behaved as internal stiffeners for the CFST beam’s cross-section. A static flexural test was conducted on five large scale specimens, including one specimen that was tested without concrete material (hollow specimen).
