Instead of gravel, foam is mixed with sand and cement to form the light-weight concrete with Fcu about one MPa (10 kg/cm²) and E about 100 MPa (1000 kg/cm²). In all considered cases, overall-buckling controlled failure. Verification analysis was performed against 12 Full-scale columns tested in BHRC by the same research team; half of the tests were for bare columns and the other 6 were composite. ANSYS was used for the nonlinear finite element analysis. Using the verified FEM, a parametric study was prepared for the aim of deriving a new set of column-curves for 2Composite Steel Battened Columns Using Foam Concrete3 that are not permitted in the design codes UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
