Abstract

Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFST) is a steel-concrete composite structure that combines advantages of both steel and concrete. The strength of CFST is always greater than the sum of the strength of steel and that of concrete. In terms of seismic response, the CFST system's linkages are crucial.Different connection methodologies are tested and used around the globe. This paper uses FEA analysis with the ANSYS software package to try to understand the non-linear behavior of an external diaphragm Concrete filled Steel Tube (CFST) Beam Column connection.The model is created based on the existing experimental studies on the material. The results are validated by existing experimental results. This paper considers studies external diaphragm connection as it is one of the most widely used connection in CFST due to its ease in construction. To acquire the response of the model in the non-linear domain, it is subjected to quasi-static cyclic loading.
