Previous researchers studied the behavior of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) columns confined with steel tubes. However, predicting the influence of the confinement effect and the compressive capacity of these columns has yet to be further examined. Currently, the Canadian design code limits for reinforced concrete do not reach the strength nor the strain produced by using UHPC. This project uses the Canadian design methods for a cross-section of UHPC to form a column interaction curve and compared it with six test specimens. The effects of steel tube confinement will also be examined. Additionally, the Eurocode 4 (EC4) method, which includes the strengths of UHPC and confinement of steel tube, was used to formulate another column interaction curve. The results show that the Canadian code severely underestimates the design strength of confined UHPC while the EC4 provides much more accurate results.

In recent years, a large number of studies have been carried out to investigate the behaviours of concrete filled double skin steel tube (CFDST) members due to its increasing popularity in the construction industry. This project aims to study on ultra-high performance concrete filled double-skin tubes subjected to blast loading with cross section being square for both inner and outer steel tubes using ANSYS software. It is evident that the proposed CFDST column was able to withstand a large blast load without failure so that it has the potential to be used in high-value buildings as well as critical infrastructures. The steel tubes and concrete work together well and integrity of steel concrete interface is maintained. Steel tubes in inner and outer can acts as permanent formwork and primary reinforcement. ANSYS results shows that the CFDA column can withstand applied blast load.
