| description | The antique building combines traditional design with contemporary technology, making it an important structural style. Columns, as a crucial structural component, directly affect how well the building functions as a whole. This paper proposes a new connection form with the upper square concrete-filled steel tube-lower circular concrete-filled steel tube (USCFST-LCCFST). This study investigates the seismic performance of the proposed connection form of the columns. First, the finite element software ABAQUS-2021 is used to simulate and analyze the connection forms of the upper square concrete-filled steel tube and lower circular reinforced concrete (USCFST-LCRC) and the upper square steel reinforced concrete and lower circular reinforced concrete (USSRC-LCRC) above the antique building, respectively, which confirms the rationality of the modeling method explored in this paper. Then, geometric modeling of the USCFST-LCCFST connection is performed using ABAQUS. Simulation results demonstrate the superior seismic performance of the proposed connection form. In addition, the influence law of steel tube yield strength and the ratio of upper and lower column linear stiffness on its seismic performance are analyzed and determined through the variational parameter analysis of the USCFST-LCCFST connection form. The steel tube yield strength of USCFST-LCCFST column connection components is recommended to be 355–420 MPa and the ratio of upper and lower column linear stiffness should be no less than 0.063. In order to ensure the good seismic performance of the connection, the steel tube yield strength and the ratio of upper and lower column stiffness should be efficiently controlled in the design of antique buildings’ USCFST-LCCFST column connection components. |
