Proper material constitutive models for concrete-filled tube (CFT) columns are proposed and verified by the nonlinear finite element program ABAQUS against experimental data. The cross sections of the CFT columns in the numerical analysis are categorized into three groups, i.e., circular section, square section, and square section stiffened by reinforcing ties. Via the numerical analyses, it is shown that for circular CFT columns, the tubes can provide a good confining effect to the concrete especially when the width-to-thickness ratio D/t is small (say D/t30). The confining effect of square CFT columns with reinforcing ties is enhanced by the use of reinforcing ties especially when the tie spacing is small and the tie number (or tie diameter) is large.

In recent years, the theory of plasticity has been widely adopted in the constitutive modeling of plain concrete. Unfortunately, the fundamental hypothesis that forms the basis of associated plasticity does not hold for concrete in some loading conditions, so that the associated plasticity models sometimes lead to great discrepancies between predicted and measured response (Chen 1981; Vermeer and de Borst 1984; Hu and Schnobrich 1988). In order to study a nonassociated plasticity for plane stress‐state concrete under short‐term monotonic loading, an elastic strain‐hardening plastic model is derived herein. This concrete material model has been tested against the experimental results of Kupfer et al. (1969). It has been demonstrated that the results achieved using an associated flow rule are usually poor, while the predictions based on the nonassociated flow rule show very good agreement with the test data.

Finite element analysis results will show significant differences if the model used is performed under various material properties, geometries, loading modes or other conditions. This study adopted an FE model, taking into account the possible asymmetry inherently existing in the spine with respect to the sagittal plane, with a more geometrically realistic outline to analyze and compare the biomechanical behaviour of the lumbar spine with regard to the facet force and intradiscal pressure, which are associated with low back pain symptoms and other spinal disorders. Dealing carefully with the contact surfaces of the facet joints at various levels of the lumbar spine can potentially help us further ascertain physiological behaviour concerning the frictional effects of facet joints under separate loadings or the responses to the compressive loads in the discs.
