Summary: The study focuses on the bond properties between steel angles and core concrete in CFSTs, proposing a formula to calculate the characteristic pull-out resistance. It is found that peak pull-out load increases with bond length and cross-section area, while average bond strength and residual strength are not dependent on these parameters. The study also shows that the circumferential constraint provided by the steel tube can effectively increase the residual bond strength and ductility.

Summary: The combination of ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) and steel tube, using expansive UHPC, improves the performance of concrete filled steel tube (CFST). The addition of high titanium heavy slag sand (HTHSS) reduces autogenous shrinkage and enhances the expansion agent's efficiency, improving the stability of UHPC. CFST with expansive UHPC shows notable enhancement in bearing capacity and stress.

Summary: In this study, a push-out experiment was conducted on CFST members to investigate the parameters affecting the natural bond capacity and bond-slip curves. The results showed that exposure to heat had a negative effect on chemical cohesion and friction between the steel tube and concrete core. The bond capacity was influenced by variables such as exposure temperature, length-to-diameter ratio of steel tube, diameter to thickness ratio of steel tube, grade of cementitious materials, and type of concrete.

Summary: This paper experimentally investigated the interfacial bond behavior of recycled aggregate concrete-filled steel tubes after different temperatures and discussed the influences and mechanism of temperature, mass replacement percentage of recycled coarse aggregate, and cross-section shape on bond behavior. More accurate prediction formulas for bond strength and analytical models for bond stress-slip relationships were proposed.

Summary: This paper presents an experimental study on the bond-slip behavior of RPC-filled square steel tube and discusses the effects of various parameters on bond behavior. The experimental results show that the bond strength decreases with increasing width-to-thickness ratio and height-width ratio, while the influence of RPC strength is inconsistent. A calculation model for bond strength is proposed based on theoretical analysis and experimental data.

Summary: Concrete-filled steel tubular members have high strength and ductility, but corrosion and fatigue can lead to fractures and decrease structural capacity. This study examines the dynamic behavior of damaged concrete-filled double steel tubular beams under impact loads. Experimental and numerical simulations are conducted to investigate the influence of damage severity on the deformation and failure modes of the beams.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of freeze-thaw cycles, section type of steel tube, and concrete strength on the failure mode, bond strength, and peak slip of concrete-filled steel tube. The results showed that the shear bond performance decreases with the increase in freeze-thaw cycles, and the shear bond strength increases with the increase in concrete strength.

Summary: Concrete-infilled hollow flange cold-formed steel beams have attracted attention in construction due to their structural performance and applicability. However, the shear strength characteristics of these beams are not well understood. This study utilized numerical and parametric analyses to investigate the shear behavior of these beams and developed modified design provisions for estimating their ultimate shear capacity.

Summary: The experimental research on semi-lightweight aggregate concrete filled steel tube (LWACFT) under axial compression showed that the bearing capacity of LWACFT columns is influenced by the compressive strength and Poisson effect of LWAC. By comparing the experimental results with current design codes, modified and simplified models have been proposed to predict the axial load versus strain curves and the bearing capacity of LWACFT columns. The research results demonstrated good agreement between the predicted results by the proposed model and the experimental ones.

Summary: In this study, monotonic axial loading tests were conducted on steel tube confined lightweight aggregate concrete (STCLAC) stub columns to investigate their constitutive model. The effects of diameter-to-thickness (D/t) ratio and steel grade were considered. The results showed bulging outward of steel tubes without local buckling during loading. It is recommended that the D/t ratio for STCLAC columns should be greater than 19.0. The study proposed calculation formulas for the compressive stress and corresponding strain of confined LAC based on test results, and a constitutive model capable of predicting the stress-strain relationship of LAC constrained by a circular steel tube.

Summary: This study focuses on the development of lignin-based admixtures (LBAs) for cement-based composites through scientometric analysis and qualitative discussion. The research identified significant sources, keywords, scholars, and countries contributing to the LBAs research. The study also revealed that most LBAs developed so far are based on Kraft lignins from pulp and paper mills, and more attention should be paid to residual lignins from biorefineries.

Summary: This study evaluated the use of low-energy basic oxygen furnace slag (BOFS) powders as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in cement-based composites. The results showed that the physical properties of the BOFS powders had a greater impact on the performance of the mortars than their chemical and mineralogical compositions. The study demonstrated the feasibility of using waste from steel slag aggregates processing plants as a low-energy alternative to conventional SCMs.
