The reinforced concrete-filled steel tube (RCFST) column solves several of the problems of the concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) column in practical engineering applications. Moreover, RCFST has a simple joint structure, high bearing capacity, good ductility, and superior fire resistance. From a structural safety perspective, designers prioritize the creep performance of CFST members in structural design. Therefore, the creep behavior of RCFST columns should be thoroughly investigated in practical engineering design. To study the influence of the creep behavior of RCFST columns under axial compression, this work analyzed the mechanical behavior of composite columns based on their mechanical characteristics under axial compression and established a creep formula suitable for RCFST columns under axial compression. A creep analysis program was also developed to obtain the creep strain–time curve, and its correctness was verified by existing tests. On this basis, the effects of the main design parameters, such as the stress level, steel ratio, and reinforcement ratio, on the creep behavior were determined and analyzed. The creep of the tested composite columns increased rapidly in the early stages (28 days) of load action; the growth rate was relatively low after 28 days and tended to stabilize after approximately six months. The stress level had the greatest influence on the creep of RCFST columns under axial compression, followed by the steel ratio. The influence of the reinforcement ratio on the creep behavior was less. The results of this study can provide a reference for engineering practice.

In this paper, a further research has been carried on mechanical properties of concrete filled steel tube reinforced concrete columns after exposure to fire. A finite element analysis (FEA) model for concrete filled steel tube reinforced concrete columns after exposure to fire under axial compression is developed by ABAQUS. The temperature of cross-section element after exposure to fire has been obtained. The FEA model of temperature field is then used to investigate the mechanism of such composite columns further. Influences of parameters on Load-bearing Capacity such as fire duration time and steel ratio were analyzed. The work in this paper provides a basis for further theoretical study on concrete filled steel tube reinforced concrete columns after exposure to fire.

Concrete filled steel tube (CFST) reinforced concrete (CFSTRC) columns subjected to axial compression were experimentally investigated in this paper. A total of ten specimens were tested. The main parameters varied in the experiments were steel tube ratio and concrete strength. It was found that, under axial compression, the column ultimate strength increases with the increasing of steel tube ratio and concrete strength. The work in this paper provides a basis for the further theoretical study on the behavior of CFSTRC columns.

To study axial compressive strength of high strength concrete-filled steel tube composite columns, tests of 18 specimens were carried out. Parameters of the specimens were the confinement index of concrete-filled steel tube, the cubic strength and the stirrup characteristic value of concrete outer of steel tube. Test results show that the concrete-filled steel tube and the reinforced concrete deformed simultaneously in the axial direction before and at the peak value of axial compressive force; after failure of the reinforced concrete, the concrete-filled steel tube can still bear the axial load and deformation; the main influential factors of axial compressive capacity are confinement index, the cubic strength and the stirrup characteristic value of concrete outer of steel tube. The accuracy of the formula of axial compressive strength of composite columns provided by CECS 188:2005 is proved by the test results of this paper.

In this paper, a comparative investigation into the behavior of concrete-filled steel tube column and reinforced concrete column with the same quantity of material and cross-section sizes under axial load have been undertaken using the finite element method. Both is analyzed to compare the axial compression performance,including bearing capacity, ductility and their mechanism. The results of the analyses clearly exhibit that bearing capacity of concrete-filled steel tube column is higher about 25% than that of reinforced concrete column. Under the same conditions, ductility of concrete-filled steel tube column is better than reinforced concrete column, its application is recommended in construction practice.

To study the mechanical properties of CFPR steel tube composite columns filled with steel reinforced concrete under different axis compression ratio by adopting 3 specimens of theirs quasistatic tests are carried out. The failure mechanism and test results are analyzed with member of the load-displacement hysteretic curves, skeleton curves. The results show that the axial compression ratio decreases conducive to the improvement of the bearing capacity of specimens. Axial compression ratio has a great influence on the skeleton curve and ductility. Axial compression ratio is higher, the descent stage of the skeleton curve is steeper, the ductility is better. With the increase of the axial compression ratio, the ductility coefficient and energy dissipation capacity is lower.
