Title: Design of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Members According to the Australian Standard AS 5100 Model and Calibration
Abstract: AbstractAbstractProcedures given in the Australian bridge design standard AS 5100 (Standards Australia, 2004) for the design of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns, beams and beam- columns are presented and described briefly in this paper. A wide range of experimental data from two currently available test databases (2194 test results altogether) is used to evaluate the applicability of AS 5100 in calculating the strength of CFST members. Some other existing design codes, such as the Japanese code AIJ (1997), American code AISC (2005), British bridge code BS 5400 (2005), Chinese code DBJ13-51-2003 (2003) and Eurocode 4 (2004), are also compared with the test results in this paper. From the comparisons, useful information is provided for future possible revision of AS 5100 and for the suggestion that this model be used for building construction.Key Words: Concrete-filled steel tubesAS 5100design codesbeamscolumnsbeam-columnsload capacitydesign Additional informationNotes on contributorsZ TaoZhong Tao is Professor of Structural Engineering at Fuzhou University, China, and is currently visiting the University of Western Sydney. He received his MS and PhD degrees from the Harbin Institute of Technology, China. His main research interests are steel-concrete composite structures and FRP- confined concrete. Zhong has published more than 80 journal papers, and recently published a Chinese book about innovative composite columns. He has played an important role in drafting five Chinese design codes on steel- concrete composite structures, including DBJ13-61-2004, DBJ13-51-2003 and GJB4142-2000. He was awarded three patents by the Chinese National Bureau of Knowledge Property Rights since 2005. He is currently on the Editorial Board of the international journal of Steel & Composite Structures.U Y BrianBrian Uy is Professor of Structural Engineering and Head of the School of Engineering at The University of Western Sydney. He has been involved in research in steel and steel-concrete composite structures for over 15 years and published more than 300 articles. Much of his research has been underpinned by competitive grant research funding from the Australian Research Council (ARC) and industry. He is currently a member of the ARC College of Experts, providing advice to the federal government on peer reviewed research in civil and structural engineering. Brian currently serves on the Australian Standards Committee for Composite Structures (BD 32), the AISC Task Committee 5 on Composite Construction, ASCE Technical Committee on Composite Construction, and the IABSE Working Commission 2 for Steel, Timber and Composite Structures. He also holds roles on the Editorial Board for seven major international journals in steel and composite structures, including being the Chief Editorial Asia-Pacific of Steel & Composite Structures. Brian is a chartered civil and structural engineer in Australia, the UK and the USA.L H HanLin-Hai Han is Professor of Structural Engineering at Tsinghua University, China. He has published 60 refereed international journal papers and 40 refereed international conference papers. He has received several excellence awards from the Chinese government since 1995 in recognition of his contributions to the research and application of steel-concrete composite construction. He is one of the outstanding young researchers awarded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. He holds roles on the Editorial Board for several international and national journals. Lin-Hai has consulted industry and government authorities on a wide range of structural engineering projects. He has played an important role in drafting several design codes on steel-concrete composite structures in China. His current research interests include steel- concrete composite and hybrid structures under different kinds of loadings, such as static, dynamic and fire.S H HeShan-Hu He is a PhD candidate at Tsinghua University and her supervisor is Professor Lin-Hai Han.
