In order to study the flexural performance of the combined structure of steel-pipe and steel slag powder ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), nine round steel-pipe beams filled with steel slag powder UHPC of different types were fabricated according to the orthogonal test method with the steel pipe type, coarse aggregate content, steel fiber admixture, and curing system as parameters. The broken ring morphology, deformation characteristics, deflection distribution, and flexural bearing capacity of the steel-pipe–UHPC beams were analyzed via a pure bending test and a finite element simulation. The results show that the damage morphology of the round steel-tube–UHPC beams prepared by using steel slag powder UHPC as the inner filling material was “bow damage” under the pure bending load, and the load capacity was higher. When the cross-sectional deflection reached L/30, the external load was still not reduced, and the steel-tube–steel-slag powder-UHPC beam had a better plastic deformation capacity and a later flexural bearing capacity. The type of steel tube had a significant influence on the flexural bearing capacity of the steel-tube–UHPC beam, and the larger the diameter of the steel tube section and the thicker the tube wall, the higher its flexural bearing capacity. The calculated ultimate flexural bearing capacity by the finite element software and the test results had a stable error between 5.6% and 11.2%, which indicates that the model was reasonably established. The research results can provide a reference for the application of steel pipe UHPC engineering.
In order to study the axial compression performance of steel pipe concrete short columns filled with steel slag micronized ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), this paper designs 27 steel pipe UHPC short columns for axial compression test and compares and analyzes the axial compression performance of the specimens in terms of the damage mode, the deformation curve, and the coefficient of strength enhancement, which is aimed at investigating the differences in the actual load-bearing performance of steel pipe UHPC short columns through changes in the aspect ratio, concrete type, and steel content rate, and so on. The purpose of this paper is to compare and analyze the axial compressive performance of the specimens in terms of damage mode and strength enhancement factor in order to investigate the difference in the actual bearing capacity performance of steel pipe UHPC short columns through the changes in length-to-diameter ratio, concrete type, and steel content. The test results show that the axial compressive performance of steel slag powder steel pipe UHPC short columns is greatly affected by the L/D ratio and steel content; the specimen bearing capacity increases with the increase in the wall thickness of the steel pipe and decreases slightly with the increase in the L/D ratio, and the steel fibers can effectively improve the deformation of the concrete so as to enhance the composite effect with the steel pipe; the contribution of the core UHPC to improve the value of bearing capacity accounts for a higher percentage when UHPC with 1% steel fiber dosage and 20% coarse aggregate dosage gave the best uplift with no change in the type of steel pipe. In this paper, the axial compression test bearing capacity results of steel slag micro powder steel pipe UHPC short column are compared with the calculated bearing capacity results of domestic and international specifications and analyzed from the perspectives of perimeter compression strength, steel fiber mixing of core concrete, and the relevant parameter design suggestions for high-strength steel pipe concrete specimens are put forward.
