A study on the static and impact structural behavior of concrete filled steel tubular members under Tsunami flotsam collision

The 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake triggered the Tsunami which caused massive great damage of the structural building either by the Tsunami waves themselves or by the Tsunami flotsam impact. With respect to the wave pressure, the loads by wave pressure are treated as statically equivalent loads. On the other hand, with respect to the collision of flotsam, the quantitative design method has not been established so far. The collision between Tsunami flotsam and concrete filled steel tubular (CFT) member is studied. Specimens consist of square, circular, and diamond cross-sectional shapes. The three dimensional finite element analysis (FEM) by MSC Marc Mentat (2012) was performed to evaluate static behavior of CFT members subjected to concentrated lateral load. The tip shape of lateral load is intended the collision with Tsunami flotsam. The solid element is used for steel tubes and infill concrete, respectively. The contact analysis between tip shapes of load and the steel as well as the co...

Finite Element Analysis of Vacant Tubular Members under Static Loading Considering the Tip Shapes of Load

FEM analysis of MSC. Marc program is used to simulate the models. Three-dimensional FEM model with contact analysis between deformable body of specimens and rigid body of load are studied. The isotropic material and The Von Mises yield criterion are used and kinematic hardening is used as a flow plasticity model. The effect of various shapes of loading tips is investigated. The load-displacement were established. The results of these works are expected to be a useful reference for analyzing structures under various shapes of loading tips either static or dynamic loading.
