Deflection Calculation Based on SDOF Method for Axially Loaded Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Members Subjected to Lateral Impact by Luming Wang, Yanhui Liu, Jiahuan Song, Shichun Zhao, Zhe Wang, Yue Zeng, Xingyu Feng

“…The nonlinear numerical model of an axially loaded CFST member considering the strain rate effects has been established, and the simulation accuracy has been validated by comparing with existing test results. The contrastive investigation is carried out to illustrate the influence of axial load on the variation pattern of impact force for CFST members under various structural and impact parameters, and its result indicates that the impact force-time histories for CFST members with different axial loads are mainly characterized by rectangular pulse and triangular pulse. …”
