The Concrete Filled Steel Tubular (CFST) columns have several benefits in comparison to the ordinary steel or reinforced concrete ones. Therefore, they have become more commonly acknowledged in the structural applications. In this study, two design codes such as American Concrete Institute (ACI) and Eurocode 4 (EC4) were used for predicting the ultimate axial strength of CFST columns filled with self-compacting concrete (SCC). To evaluate the results, circular steel tube with different diameter to thickness (D/t) ratio of 30, 60, and 90 and steel yielding strength of 185, 275, and 450 MPa were considered as prediction parameters. The wall thickness and length to diameter (L/D) ratio of the steel tubes were kept constant. As an infill material for the steel tubes, 16 different SCC mixtures reported in the literature were studied and their compressive strength results were used to get the code predicted ultimate axial strength of the composite columns. The analysis of the results based on ACI and EC4 were performed and discussed comparatively.

This paper presents the theoretical and experimental results of concrete-filled steel tube columns subjected to axially compression. A total of 6 specimens with outer square sections reinforced by inner cicular steel tube were constructed for experimental investigation. The ultimate strengths of the columns from tests were obtained. The theoretical strengths of the columns were also investigated based on unified strength theory, and compared with the test results. Good agreement can be observed from the comparison.

This paper reports on part of an ongoing experimental program at The University of Adelaide on FRP-concrete-steel composite columns. A total of eight high-strength concrete double-skin tubular columns (DSTCs) were tested under axial compression. The column parameters examined included the diameter, thickness, and shape of inner steel tube. The results of the experimental study show that increasing the inner steel tube diameter leads to an increase in the ultimate axial stress and strain of concrete in DSTCs. The results also show that increasing inner steel tube thickness leads to an increase in the ultimate axial stress and strain of DSTCs. Furthermore, it is observed that concrete inside DSTCs with square inner steel tubes is not confined as effectively as concrete inside DSTCs with circular inner steel tubes.

This paper reports on part of an ongoing experimental program at The University of Adelaide on FRP-concrete-steel composite columns. The results from eight FRP-concrete-steel double-skin columns (DSTCs) that were tested under constant axial compression are presented. The key parameters examined included diameter, thickness, and strength of inner steel tube. The results of the experimental study indicate that concrete in a DSTC system is confined effectively by FRP and steel tubes. The results also indicate that increasing the inner steel tube diameter leads to an increase in the ultimate axial strength and strain of DSTCs. No clear influence of the strength of inner steel tube is observed on the ultimate condition of concrete in DSTCs. These results are presented together with a discussion on the influence of the key parameters on the compressive behavior of DSTCs.

This experimental study presents concrete-filled double-skin tubular columns and demonstrates their expected advantages. These columns consist of an outer steel tube, an inner steel tube, and concrete sandwiched between two tubes. The influence of the outer-to-inner tube dimension ratio, outer tube to thickness ratio, and type of inner tube material (steel, PVC pipe) on the ultimate axial capacity of concrete-filled double-skin tubular columns is studied. It is found that the yield strength of the inner tube does not significantly affect the ultimate axial capacity of concrete-filled double-skin tubular composites. With the replacement of the inner tube of steel with a PVC pipe, on average, less than 10% strength is reduced, irrespective of size and dimensions of the steel tube. Hence, the cost of a project can be reduced by replacing inner steel tubes with a PVC pipes. Finally, the experimental results are compared with the existing design methods presented in AISC 360-16 (2016), GB51367 (2019), and EC4 (2004). It is found from the comparison that GB51367 (2019) gives better results, followed by AISC (2016) and EC4 (2004).

Local buckling in steel tubes was observed to be capable of reducing the ultimate loads of thin-walled concrete-filled steel-tube (CFST) columns under axial compression. To strengthen the steel tubes, steel bars were proposed in this paper to be used as stiffeners fixed onto the tubes. Static-loading tests were conducted to study the compression behavior of square thin-walled CFST columns with steel bar stiffeners placed inside or outside the tube. The effect and feasibility of steel bar stiffeners were studied through the analysis of failure mode, load–displacement relationship, ultimate load, ductility, and local buckling. Different setting methods of steel bars were compared as well. The results showed that steel-bar stiffeners proposed in this paper can be effective in delaying local buckling as well as increasing the bearing capacity of the columns, but will decrease the ductility of the columns. In order to obtain a higher bearing capacity of columns, steel bars with low stiffness should be placed inside and steel bars with high stiffness should be placed outside of the steel tubes. The study is helpful in providing reference to the popularization and application of this new structural measure to avoid or delay the local buckling of thin-walled CFST columns.

In order to exert the force performance of steel tubular columns filled with steel-reinforced concrete, the focus of the paper is about the influence of load condition on flexural mechanical properties and the shear mechanical properties of the composite columns. The two types of loading conditions are: 1.Steel pipe, steel placed in the steel tube and concrete subject to compressive load simultaneously; 2.Compressive load acts on steel and concrete. The results show that the calculated results based on ADINA and the experimental ones are in agreement well. The calculated results also show that the load condition has no influence on flexural mechanical properties, but has a great influence on shear mechanical properties of the composite columns.

In order to look into the causes of fire response and post-fire bearing capacity of the steel tubular columns protected with different materials, the fire test was conducted for a set of circular steel tubes protected with different materials such as gypsum fireproof panel, bamboo plywood and the ordinary lumber core plywood, and the steel tube without any protective material. The fire response temperature of surface of steel tubes is measured and the axial compressive bearing capacity of the specimens after fire are tested and analyzed. The test results show that gypsum fireproof panel has the best fire protection characteristics, the ordinary lumber core plywood and bamboo plywood can also retard rising of the surface temperature of the steel tubes during the initial 35min although they are combustible materials. It is found that the post-fire bearing capacity of the steel tubes protected with different materials varies evidently, and the maximum value of response temperature has the greatest effect.

Abstract The axial capacity of light–gauge steel tube columns filled with concrete including recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) aggregates and recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) was investigated. A total of 51 specimens, including 6 bare steel tubes, 30 composite columns and 15 concrete-only columns were tested under uniaxial load. Fifteen concrete mixes were considered by replacing the weight of natural coarse aggregates (NA) with RCA and RAP at replacement levels of 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100%. In addition, RAP and RCA were combined in the same mixes with replacement levels of (1) 20% RAP and 80% RCA; (2) 40% RAP and 60% RCA; (3) 60% RAP and 40% RCA; and (4) 80% RAP and 20% RCA. Experimental results were analyzed by reporting the ultimate capacities and the patterns of failure. Moreover, the predictions of EUROCODE 4 (EC4) and American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) codes were checked. ABAQUS software was used to perform a finite element analysis (FEA) of the tested composite specimens. The results showed that using recycled aggregates decreased the carrying capacity of columns. Carrying capacity of light–gauge steel tubes filled with concrete including different combinations of RCA, NA and RAP aggregates can be conservatively predicted by the AISC and EC4 recommendations. Results of FEA showed a good agreement with the experimental results.

Concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns are increasingly used in the construction of high-rise buildings which require high strength and large working space especially at lower stories. As compared to reinforced concrete columns, existence of the exterior steel tube not only bears a portion of axial load but also most importantly provides confinement to the infill concrete.with the confinement provided by the steel tube, axial strength of the infill concrete can be largely enhanced.this paper presents the investigation effect of impact load on concrete-filled steel tube columns under fire by numerical simulations using ABAQUS software.the results indicate that the CFST sections with larger confinement factor ξ=1.23 behaved in a very ductile manner under lateral impact. And the sections with smaller confinement factor ξ=0.44  generally behaved in a brittle mechanism.

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.
