Abstract
The aim of the work was numerical analyses of a steel-concrete composite column
and a steel column. An internal column 3.60 m in length was considered. The
column was on the second storey of a six-storey building designed for retail and
services. The column was subjected to compression and uniaxial bending. The
existing steel column was made from a welded H- profile. In the first stage of the
work, the composite column was designed as an alternative to the existing steel
column using the analytical method. A steel reinforced concrete column with a
steel H-profile was selected. The second part of the work consisted in modelling
the steel and composite columns. The geometries, loads and boundary conditions
used in simulations of the columns were the same as in the analytical calculations.
Numerical analysis was carried out using the ADINA System based on the finite
element method. In the steel column, the stresses and displacements were
considered. In the composite column, the stresses in the steel and concrete
elements, the stresses distributions in the reinforcement bars and displacements of
the whole column were evaluated.
1. Introduction
Steel-concrete composite columns are new composite members. They are widely
used due to their high load-bearing capacity, full usage of materials, high stiffness
and ductility and large energy absorption capacity as pointed out by the authors of
[1,2]. The steel reinforced concrete (SRC) member (Fig. 1a), also known as the
concrete encased composite member, is the result of filling the empty space in a
steel H-profile with concrete [3].
Combining reinforced concrete (RC) and structural steel sections provides several

presented in Table 1.
5. Discussion
After loading the existing steel column, the compressive stress of 321 MPa
exceeds the steel yield strength of 235 MPa. Therefore, changing the
structure of the column is suggested.
6. Conclusions
Due to the boundary conditions and way of loading, the concentration
of stresses in the steel and composite columns is at the base and the
head of the column.
Changing the structure of the steel column is suggested because after
loading this column, the stresses of 321 MPa will exceed the yield
strength of 235 MPa.
The load carrying capacity analytically calculated for the steel
reinforced concrete column amounted 90%.
Based on numerical analysis, the stresses in the steel section of the
composite column were 201 MPa, which corresponded to 86% of the
yield strength.
The numerical model takes into account stretching of the concrete. The
tensile stresses in the concrete in the base and the head of the column
exceed the tensile strength resulting in the appearance of scratches.
The steel reinforced concrete column is stiffer than the steel one and
undergoes less displacement (lx = 1.2 mm, lz = 1.3 mm).
