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.

本数据集为钢管混凝土（Concrete Filled Tube, CFT）构件节点可靠分析模型开发过程中的第二版数据集。附录A详述了公开文献中收录的135项试验的变量范围与关键观测结果。本数据集具备双重作用：(a) 可为未来组合节点（Composite Connection）研究的可靠校准与验证数据库提供初始基础；(b) 可作为本研究第二部分多项建模决策的依据。《研究结果录入工作表》为空白模板，供其他研究者向作者Leon等人提交试验数据，以便以统一格式持续扩充本数据库，实现数据的便捷导入。题为《组合体系数值建模：钢管混凝土组合节点与组合梁》的学位论文，其第2章包含相关研究信息。
