[Abstract]
In this presentation, Dr Wang will present her recent research into the behaviour of concrete-filled steel tubular structure incorporating recycled concrete lumps. The experimental investigations involve the fabrication and axial compressive testing of 22 circular concrete-filled steel stub columns, 17 square concrete-filled stainless-steel tubular (CFSST) stub columns and 17 rectangular CFSST stub columns. The failure load of the CFST and CFSST members are predicted using the EC4, AISC360 and DBJ13-51 design codes. The circular CFST members have also been designed as slender using EC4 by calculating the effective area of the steel tube. Additionally, the continuous strength method is used in combination with EC4 to design the CFSST members. Finally, the applicability of the considered design codes is evaluated by comparing the experimental failure loads to the predicted failure loads. She will also present topics on sustainability, intelligence and resilience of construction materials and structures. She will introduce current research programmes undertaken by her PhD students. Key lab facilities at the University of Manchester will be introduced.
