Abstract: In order to promote the application of angle-steel confined high-strength concrete （ACHC）
columns in new construction and reinforcement projects of civil engineering, this paper took the hoop
coefficient, strength grade of concrete and yield strength of steel as parameters, 15 angle-steel confined

compression. Based on simplified steel constitutive model and confined concrete constitutive model
considering hoop effect, the finite element simulation analysis on them was carried out, by comparing
with the experimental data the rationality of finite element modeling is verified. The author investigate
the influence for different hoop coefficient, different concrete strength grade and different yield
20 strength of steel to mechanic behavior of ACHC short columns. Considering the hoop effect of batten
plate to concrete, the influence factor of the slab is introduced, and the linear relationship between the
influence factor and the hoop coefficient is inverted by using 1stopt software. Calculation formula of

0 Introduction
Angle-steel confined high-strength concrete (ACHC) columns is a kind of composite
structure form [1-4] configuring angle-steel on the outside of plain high-strength concrete
component. Transverse batten plate is used to weld angle steels together, and steel bars are no
35 longer set inside component. This kind of component not only has simple structure and convenient
connection, but also has unique mechanical properties, such as high bearing capacity, good
ductility etc. Applying high-strength concrete to angle-steel confined concrete structure the dosage
of the concrete can be greatly reduced, the size of components section can be decreased and the
weight of structure can be reduced effectively. Former Russia carried out analysis on the
40 interaction effect between angle-steel and concrete, they focused on investigating welding form of
transverse steel bar and angle-steel and the reliability of connection joint for the component. S. A.
Sheikh et al. [5] firstly carried out static test on steel batten plate confined angle-steel space truss
concrete column under axial compression, and examined the destruction procedure of the column.
Through load-deformation curves calculation formula on bearing capacity was given and by
45 comparison analysis found that the spacing of the steel plate hoop could significantly improve the
strength and ductility of the core concrete. M. Rosario et al. [6] carried out eccentric compression

test research on 13 groups of angle -steel concrete columns, and put forward theoretical analysis
model for this kind of components, which can be used to accurately analyze the bearing capacity
of the angle-steel concrete columns and the ordinary reinforced concrete columns. Domestic
50 scholars carried out a series of research work about angle-steel confined concrete structure, for
example, F. D. Ren et al. [7]carried out an experiment research about reinforced concrete frame
column strengthened by angle-steel. S. F. Jiang et al.[8] discussed the influence for the axial
compression concrete strength, longitudinal steel ratio, stirrup spacing and diameter of stirrup to
the mechanical properties of angle-steel confined short column under axial compression and gave
55 bearing capacity calculation formula. H. W. Lu[9] carried out experiment research on 10
angle-steel confined conventional concrete short columns under axial compression with the
slenderness ratio of 3, and damage form and load-displacement curves of specimens were obtained,
then the influence for section of component, spacing of batten plate and compressive strength of
concrete to bearing capacity and ductility performance of angle-steel confined concrete column
60 was discussed and regressed the relationship between the angle-steel strength’s reduction factor
and hoop coefficient, at last calculation formula of bearing capacity of angle-steel confined
conventional concrete short columns is put forward under axial pressure.
So far, it has less report on analysis of angle-steel confined high-strength concrete
components and the corresponding theoretical research is not mature, so it is of certain theoretical
65 significance and practical value for conducting ANSYS[10,11] simulation analysis of angle-steel
confined high-strength concrete short columns under different parameters and getting mechanical
performance and calculation expression of bearing capacity and putting forward the design
method of this kind of columns.

solution instead of test by ANSYS software, so it not only can save a lot of money, but also can
carry out some analysis which test can not achieve.

2.2 The constructive models of steel and high-strength concrete

Simple bilinear model[12-15] is used as the constitutive relationship of steel and regardless of
the strength hardening after steel yields and Mises yield criterion is adopted as shown in Fig. 3.
Based on stirrup confined concrete constitutive model[16-18] which MANDER has put forward,
90 according to the characteristics of the angle-steel hoop, it gets angle-steel confined high-strength
concrete constitutive model by revising effective area of angle-steel constraint as shown in Fig.4.
Effective constraint area is shown in Fig.5. The specific formula is derived as shown in formula
1-8.

The form of confined concrete compressive strength, peak strain and skeleton curve’s
expression is in accordance with those of MANDER model as shown in formula (1)-(3). Confined
concrete compressive strength’s expression:

7.94 f r' f'

f cc  f co (1.254  2.254 1  2 r ) (1)

100 Where, f cc and f co are compressive strength of confined concrete and compressive strength of
non-restraint concrete respectively; f r' is Effective restraint stress of core concrete with external
constraints.
The expression of confined concrete’s peak strain in MANDER model:

105 Where,  cc and  co are peak strains of constraint high-strength concrete and non-restraint
high-strength concrete respectively.
The skeleton curve expression of MANDER model:

Where, x is coefficient, x   c /  cc ; f c and  c stand for the current stress and strain of the
110 high-strength concrete; r is also coefficient, r  Ec /( Ec  Esec ) ; Here Ec is the elastic modulus of

concrete, namely Ec  5000 f co ; Esec is The secant modulus of confined concrete’s peak strain

point, Esec  fcc /  cc .

The calculating of confined high-strength concrete’s effective constraint stress f r' is different
from MANDER model .Its computation formula is:

115 f r '  f r ke (4)

Where, f r is constraint stress of transverse steel plate; ke is effective confinement factor.

Ae

Acc
Where, Ae is effective constraint area of steel plate to core high-strength concrete; Acc is core
concrete area surrounded by steel plate section centroid after deducting the longitudinal
120 angle-steel area.
Acc  Ac (1  cc ) (6)
Where, Ac is core concrete area surrounded by steel plate section centroid; cc is the ratio of
vertical steel plate’s area and the area of core concrete surrounded by section steel plate’s centroid.
Literature[16] described the concrete column’s core effective constraint zone which confined
125 by rectangular stirrup in MANDER model. Fig.5shows concrete column’s core effective constraint
area confined by steel plate. It assumes that the angle between non-effective constraint area’s arc
tangent along the longitudinal plate and horizontal line is 45 degrees. You can see from Fig.5 that
the total area surrounded by various parabolas and the centroid line of external ring plate, and it is
non-restraint region of concrete column in the plane of the steel plate.
130 The area of non-constraints zone surrounded by each parabola and the centroid line of external
' 2
ring plate is (wi ) / 6 , here wi' is the clear distance of the two adjoining longitudinal angle-steels.
The number of longitudinal angle-steels fixed by steel plate is 4. The total area of non-restraint
4
( wi' )2
region of concrete column in the plane of the steel plate is expressed as Ai   .
i 1 6
Considering the non-constraints zone of concrete between the two longitudinal adjoining steel
135 plates, effective confinement area of concrete in the middle section of vertical adjacent steel
plate Ae is expressed as follows:

 4

Ae   bc d c    1  1   (7)
 i 1 6  2bc  2d c 
Where, bc and d c are the centroid distance of external two ring steel plates along x and y
directions.
140 The effective restraint coefficient can be obtained according to effective constraint area:

f r is transverse plate’s constraint stress, and its solving method is the same as MANDER
'
model[16], the effective restraint stress f r can be obtained by bringing f r into formula (4), then
the constraints concrete’s peak stress, strain and skeleton curve can be gotten.

2.3 Finite Element Model

Using the SOLID45 3d solid element in ANSYS [12] to simulate angle-steel and batten plate
and using SOLID65 element to simulate high-strength concrete. We can observe the high-strength
150 concrete’s phenomena of tension crack, crushing, plastic deformation and creep. Drucker-Prager
model is adopted to simulate the stress-strain relationship of concrete plasticity and distribution
model is selected for the treatment of fracture. Solid modeling method is used to establish the
finite element model of high-strength concrete column which is restrained by angle-steel. It is
assumed that it doesn’t have shrinkage and creep. By using the GLUE command we can make
155 concrete and steel skeleton bond together and geometric model is divided into grids by using
sweep method, thus we can get reasonable and discrete finite element. Taking DZ-2 specimen as
an example, its grid meshing is shown in Fig. 6. The bottom points of columns are fixed and the
vertical freedom degree of the top of columns is free. The process of solving finite element model
is shown in Fig.7.

165 2.4 Experimental Verification of Finite Element Model analysis

In order to verify the rationality of the finite element modeling, this paper carries out the
finite element numerical analysis to the existing five test specimens[9], and gets the vertical load -
displacement curves of them. They were compared with the experimental curves as shown in Fig.8.
Comparison for bearing capacity is shown in Table 2, we can see from the comparison that Finite
170 element calculation results are in good agreement with experiment results, the error is less than
10%, so the correctness of finite element model and the constitutive relationship is verified.

Fig.9 Comparison of load-displacement curves of composite columns with different hoop coefficients

Comparison on load-displacement curves of ACHC short columns with different hoop

coefficients is shown in Fig.9. It can be seen that curves are expressed as straight lines in the
initial stage, which mainly expresses elastic properties of components. The initial stiffness
195 increases with the increasing of hoop coefficient and ultimate bearing capacity improves
significantly. With the decreasing of spacing of batten plates, the slower drop the
load-displacement curves, which show that the ductility of such short columns will be better with
the decreasing of spacing of batten plates.

3.2 The Influence for Strength Grade of High-strength concrete to Mechanical

200 Properties of Short Columns
Comparison on load-displacement curves of ACHC short columns with different strength
grade of concrete (C60, C70 and C80) is shown in Fig.10. It can be seen that the initial stiffness of
components is almost the same. Curves gradually deviates from the longitudinal axis with the
increasing of the displacement. With the increasing of strength grade of concrete, the stiffness of
205 components increases slightly before reaching yield strength, but yield load and ultimate bearing
capacity improve obviously, and the change of yield displacement is not significant.

components isn’t basically changed, the yield load and ultimate bearing capacity increase
significantly with the increasing of yield strength of angle-steel, meanwhile the yield displacement
which is determined by using the energy method also increases obviously.

Based on simulation results of 15 groups of specimens gotten by finite element software
ANSYS, ultimate bearing capacity values of ACHC short columns are obtained under the control

angle-steel and batten plate to improvement of compressive bearing capacity of ACHC short
230 columns, taking the formula of ultimate bearing capacity of reinforced concrete columns as

255 5 Design Suggestion on Angle-steel Confined Concrete Composite

Columns
We can know from the Wenchuan earthquake and the Yushu earthquake, frame columns of
many buildings were destroyed because the axial compression ratio was too large when the
earthquake happened, it is visible that axis pressure ratio increased instantaneous [19-22].Although
260 limit value of axial compression ratio of angle-steel confined high-strength concrete composite
column can be relaxed, limit value of axial compression ratio of this kind of columns is
suggested to select according to limit value of axial compression ratio of reinforced concrete
columns. The axial compression ratio can be calculated according to formula (12) .

stirrup rate of steel plate hoop needs to meet demand of volume stirrup rate of the stirrup
reinforcement in design standard of concrete structures. The axial compression bearing capacity of
the column is calculated by the formula (11).
Centralization of steel is achieved for steel confined high-strength concrete composite
270 column, and steel and prestressing tendons can pass through between angle-steels, so a kind of
new structure consisting of steel confined high-strength concrete composite columns and
prestressed steel reinforced concrete composite beam can be formed as shown in Fig.13.
Prestressing tendons can be realized to tension and anchor at the end of column, and the system is
suitable for large-span and heavy-load new building and existing building reinforcement.
275 Prestressed steel concrete composite beam can realize bearing load by itself in the
construction stage, so the system has a unique advantage in the construction of the existing
building. Angle steel is located at the outside of high-strength concrete column, so it is easy to
weld the keel around the column, on which can layout thin-film solar panel which can provide
lighting for indoor and outdoor and corridor. This kind of building realizes technology integration
280 of structure function, decoration and application of saving energy. Thin-film solar panels are
arranged as shown in Fig.13. Angle steel frame of angle-steel confined concrete composite column
can be welded on the factory, so the construction cycle of the building is greatly shortened and the
building can be made earlier put into use.

6 Conclusions
This paper takes hoop coefficients, strength grades of concrete and strength grades of steel as
parameters and designs 15 groups of angle-steel confined high-strength concrete short columns
290 under axial compression with shear span ratio of 1.5, then finite element simulation analysis on
15groups of specimens is carried out based on ANSYS finite element software. By comparing
with the existing experimental data the rationality of Finite element modeling is verified.
Based on noncontinuous stirrup confined concrete constitutive model theory, according to the
characteristics of the angle-steel hoop, it deduces angle-steel confined high-strength concrete
295 constitutive model by revising effective area of angle-steel constraint.
Mechanical properties of angle-steel confined high-strength concrete short columns under
axial compression are obtained with different parameters, the results show that the influence for
hoop coefficient to bearing capacity and ductility of short column is significantly.
Calculation formula of bearing capacity of ACHC short columns under axial compression is
300 gotten by satiation and regression, and the design method of ACHC columns is put forward in
practical engineering. this kind of concrete columns can give fully play to hoop effect of steel
skeleton, so it will be widely used in new construction and strengthening and rebuilding
engineering of civil engineering.
