Compressive Strength of Concrete-Filled Steel Pipe Pile Head with Inner Ribs

Pile foundation failures during earthquakes can cause severe structural damage, emphasizing the importance of accurate strength evaluation. This study focuses on concrete-filled steel pipe pile heads with inner ribs, which play a crucial role in resisting compressive loads. Compression tests were conducted on specimens simulating pile heads to investigate stress transfer between the steel pipe and infill concrete. A numerical analysis model was developed using ABAQUS 6.14 and validated against experimental results, successfully reproducing load-deformation relationships and stress transfer mechanisms. Simulations extended the study by analyzing the bearing strength of the infill concrete under rib-induced pressure, with varying diameter-to-thickness ratios D/t. The results show that the compressive strength is primarily governed by the combined effects of steel pipe buckling resistance and concrete bearing resistance of a single layer of inner ribs. The proposed evaluation formula provides a lower-bound estimate of compressive strength and effectively captures key parameters influencing performance.
