    Abstract

    ![CDATA[The curved concrete filled steel tubular (CCFST) truss is a new type of truss with curved CFST chords and hollow braces. A finite element analysis (FEA) model of the CCFST truss subjected to bending was developed. The FEA model was verified by a series of tests conducted before. Good agreement was obtained between the numerical results and the experimental results in terms of failure modes, load versus deflection curves and strain development. It was found that a typical load versus deflection curve can be divided into three stages: elastic stage, yielding stage and hardening stage. The FEA model was further used to investigate the stress and strain developments of the structure by full range analysis.]]
