In-Field Stainless Steel Tubular Products: A Review

Abstract

It is possible for the ductility behavior of CFST members to quickly meet the essential design criteria of Turkish
Earthquake Codes. These requirements are based on the human life sustainability during earthquakes. The
establishment of these standards was done with the goal of making it possible for human life to be preserved
during earthquakes. Within the realm of civil engineering, the utilization of steel-walled composite cross sections
is quickly becoming an increasingly common choice. The fundamental goal served by the utilization of CFST
members is to provide maximal bearing capacity before to the appearance of likely buckling modes in the
structure. In the case that an insufficient amount of confinement effects are created by steel tube or an
inadequate amount of concrete core strength is present in a composite section, it is possible that local buckling
will take place. The confinement effect is also known as the radial pressure, which refers to the pressure that is
created by steel tubes. It alters the buckling mode in the same manner as stirrups do when they are utilized in
the harness. Slenderness is another important factor to take into account when evaluating the buckling mode of
members based on their size. During the course of this research, tests of compressive strength, modulus of
elasticity, and steel tensile coupon strength are carried out. These tests are carried out so that the qualities of the
materials that are being studied may be identified.
