Experimental and numerical investigations of concrete-filled double-skin aluminium stub column with a circular hollow section as the outer skin and a square hollow section as the inner skin are presented in this article. A test program was carried out to study the influences of aluminium tube geometric dimensions and concrete strength on structural performance and strength of composite columns. A series of composite columns was tested on outer circular hollow section tubes and inner square hollow section tubes; the spaces between them had been filled with concrete of different nominal cylinder strengths of 40, 70 and 100 MPa. The tubes were fabricated by extrusion using 6061T6 heat-treated aluminium alloy having a nominal 0.2% proof stress of 240 MPa. A non-linear finite element model was developed and verified against experimental results. The test and numerical results were compared with the design strengths to evaluate the applicability of the design rules in the American specifications for aluminium and concrete structures. In addition, the proposed design equations, developed by the authors for concrete-filled double-skin aluminium tubular stub columns with circular hollow section as both outer and inner skins, were used to calculate the design strengths and compared with the experimental and numerical results obtained in this study. The proposed design equations also predicted the ultimate strengths of the concrete-filled double-skin aluminium tubular stub columns accurately with circular hollow section as the outer skin and square hollow section as the inner skin.

To realize axial load behavior of CFDST, ANSYS is used to analyze the process from load to destruction that hollow section ratio is the main variable parameter. To explore the validity of finite element analysis software, axial compressive strength is calculated combined with formulas of existing criterions. The results show the finite element results have a good agreement with text values and calculation.

To analyze the axial compression bearing capacity of concrete filled double skin steel tubular (CFDST) stub columns which are filled with demolished concrete lump, twelve stub columns are tested. The main experimental parameters were the diameter-to-thickness ratio, mixing ratio and hollow section ration.Load-displacement curves and failure mode were analyzed, the compressive capacity determined from related design rules were compared with the peak load obtained in the tests. All specimens have a good performance of ductility and late bearing capacity. When the width-thickness is 72 and have a same mixing ratio, CFDST have the same bearing capacity with CFT. When the mixing ratio is 0 and width-thickness is 120, the bearing capacity of CFDST increase 16% than CFT. When the new concrete have similar compressive strength with old and mixing ratio is 25%, the bearing capacity of CFDST increase 18.8% than CFT.

This study aims at proposing a new model for evaluating the ultimate axial strength of concrete-filled double skin steel tubular (CFDST) composite columns. For this, a total of 103 experimental data regarding the ultimate strength of CFDST columns under axial loading were collected from the previous studies in the literature. All CFDST columns consist of two steel tubes being outer and inner circular hollow section. The model presented herein was developed by using gene expression programming. For this, the yield strength, diameter, and thickness of both outer and inner steel tubes, the compressive strength of annulus concrete, the length of the specimen, and the ultimate axial strength of the columns were utilized as the parameters. Assessment of the obtained results indicated that the generated model had a good performance compared to the existing models by the previous researchers and the equations specified in the design codes. The high value of R2 and narrow ranged fluctuation of the estimation error for the ultimate axial strength of the CFDST columns were also achieved through the proposed model.
