Appendix A - CFT Connections: State-of-the-art report and numerical validation by 3D FEM

This is the second version of the dataset in the development of a robust analytical model for connections between concrete filled tube members. Appendix A describes the range of variables and significant observations from one hundred and thirty-five tests found in the open literature. This data set (a) provides the starting point for a future robust calibration and verification database for composite connection studies, and (b) served as the basis for a number of the modeling decisions made in the second part of the research.The Research Results Input Worksheet is a blank worksheet intended for use by other researchers to send the authors (Leon et al.) their experimental data to continue to populate the database using the same format so the data is easy to import.The dissertation titled Numerical Modeling of Composite Systems: Composite CFT Connections and Composite Beams gives relevant information in Chapter 2.

本数据集为混凝土填充管件之间稳健分析模型开发中的第二版。附录A详述了从公开发表的文献中找到的一百三十五次测试的变量范围和重要观察结果。该数据集（a）为未来复合连接研究的稳健校准和验证数据库提供了起点，并且（b）作为研究第二部分中做出的一些建模决策的基础。研究结果输入表格是一张空白工作表，旨在供其他研究人员使用，以便将其实验数据发送给作者（Leon等人），以便使用相同的格式继续扩充数据库，从而使数据易于导入。《复合系统数值建模：复合CFT连接与复合梁》这篇论文在第二章中提供了相关信息的描述。
