  • Abstract
Ten specimens with perforated ribs, which can be divided into two series, were made to observe the behavior of steel-concrete composite pylon under axial load and cyclic load respectively. The experiment reveals the ultimate capacity and failure mode of two types of specimens under the cyclic load with different actual axial load level. Furthermore, it can be concluded from the results that the failure mode can be divided into two types, that is compression failure and tension failure. And the behavior of those specimens under cyclic load is influenced significantly under high axial load or without axial load at all. In addition, perforated ribs will prevent the plates under compression from overall buckling effectively based on the observation that the wavelength of plate is limited between two neighboring perforated ribs. At last, comparison on the interaction behaviors of the axial load (N) versus moment (M) is made between the results of experiment and calculation according to the criteria.
