Data for ultimate bearing capacity of concrete-filled steel tubular members and arches by the elastic modulus reduction method

Homogeneous generalized yield function is adopted in this article to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of 93 concrete-filled steel tubular components with detailed test data, and the ratios of the ultimate bearing capacity calculated to the tested are presented. Moreover, the incremental nonlinear finite element method and elastic modulus reduction method are adopted to evaluate the ultimate bearing capacity of 11 concrete-filled steel tubular arches, 7 among which with detailed test data. The component data cover those under different loading conditions, material strength and geometric parameters, and the arch data include those under different loading conditions and rise to span ratios. The data provided are useful to investigate the strength of CFST members and arches and to demonstrate the validation of other numerical methods. The current data are considered as a complementary for the main work "Linear elastic iteration technique for ultimate bearing capacity of circular CFST arches" [1].
