Experiment and ANSYS Finite Element Analysis on Concrete Filled Thin-Walled Steel Tube Joints

The experiment on joints of concrete filled thin-walled steel tube and the composite beam is carried out in 8 specimens, and mechanics performance of all type joints is concluded in general. The test results indicate that each joint has higher bearing capacity and better ductility performance. Solid65 and Shell181 Elements of ANSYS finite element program are adopted to simulate concrete and thin-walled steel sheet of composite beams and columns. Calculation results in theories proved conformity with the test in primary.
