摘要
The behaviour of dune sand concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) stub columns under axial compression was experimentally investigated in this paper, where the nominal cube strength of concrete was 60MPa. A total of 24 specimens including 20 dune sand CFST stub columns and 4 reference hollow steel tubular stub columns were tested. The effects of tube thickness, cross-sectional dimension and concrete infill on the behaviour of the composite stub columns were investigated. The results showed that, similar to conventional CFST stub columns, the tested dune sand CFST stub columns behaved in a ductile manner and displayed an outward buckling failure model with high compressive strength. It indicates that it is feasible to use dune sand to replace normal sand to fabricate CFST columns in regions close to deserts. Comparisons were made between the test results and the predicted ultimate strength using the existing codes AIJ (2008), AISC360-10 (2010), BS5400 (2005), DBJ/T13-51-2010 (2010) and EC4 (2004). Generally, these codes are conservative but acceptable for predicting the ultimate strength of dune sand CFST stub columns.
