Abstract
The elasto-plastic finite element analysis is performed in
this paper to simulate the deformation and failure mode of
the composite column under eccentric axial load. The
simulated results are compared with the experimental
results of practical size columns. Analysis of a hollow
section steel tube column is also carried out as a
comparison. It is observed that the composite column
demonstrates a gradual failure mode with a smooth lateral
deformation curve, with the in-filled concrete adds
strength, stiffness and ductility to the column. This is in
sharp contrast with the hollow section steel tube column
that shows a sudden collapse after an inward curling is
formed at the center part of the column. Compared with
the finite element simulated and the tested results, the
existing code is very conservative in predicting the
ultimate load of the composite column.
