Design of Concrete Filled CHS

Es = 210000 N/mm2
Ecm = 29000 N/mm2

Second Moment of area

Outer Dia = 406 mm
Inner Dia = 394 mm
Ia = 150849933.6 mm4
EaIa = 31678486056000 Nmm2

Is = 0 mm4
EsIs = 0 Nmm2

Ic = 1179306430.623 mm4
EcmIc = 34199886488067 Nmm2

Effective Flexural Stiffness

(EI)e = EaIa + EsIs + 0.6EcmIc

= 52198417948840.2 mm4

For Concrete filled CHS

d/t < 90 e^2

t thickness of wall of CHS = 6 mm

d outer diameter of CHS = 406 mm

fy = yield strength of steel sect = 275 N/mm2

e = (235/fy)^0.5 = 0.924416

therefore d/t must be < 76.90909

check d/t = 67.66667 Okay

Plastic Resistance of CHS = Npl,Rd

Npl,Rd = Aa fy/ya +As fsk/ys + Ac fck/yc

Aa area of steel section = 7540.8 mm2

As area of steel rebar = 0 mm2

Ac area of concrete = 121937.878 mm2

ya = 1.1
ys = 1.15
yc = 1.5

fy = 275 N/mm2
fsk = 460 N/mm2
fck = 20 N/mm2

Npl, Rd = 3511038.3733 N
= 3511.0383733 kN

Npl,R is Npl,Rd where ya=ys=yc= 1.0

Npl,R = 4512477.56 N
= 4512.47756 kN

length buckling length of column = 10500 mm

Euler Buckling Load

Ncr = 3.142^2(EI)e/length^2

= 4674025.78259859 N
= 4674.0257825986 kN

lamda bar = (Npl,R/Ncr)^0.5

= 0.9825665514

The reduction factor may be determined from

x = 1/((phi + (phi ^2 - lamda bar ^2) ^0.5) but <= 1.0

where phi = 0.5(1 + alpha (lamda bar - 0.2) + lamda bar ^2)

where apha is imperfection parameter = 0.21

phi = 1.0648880019

therefore x = 0.677766

N Rd is Resistance of composite column in axial compression (Ultimate bukcling load)

Therefore N RD = x * Npl,Rd

= 2379.662 kN
