Concrete filled steel tube has been consistently used in tall buildings as it represents excellent structural performance and economical efficiency compared with other structural systems. The use of high strength steel in concrete filled steel tube can reduce the column size and increase the effective space in the buildings. But, the limit of width-to-thickness ratio to prevent local buckling is an obstacle to applying the high strength steel as it considerably decrease following to the strength increase. This paper addresses the effect of steel plate slenderness limit on the compression behavior in 800 MPa Grade steel. Four short column specimens were tested under axial compression. Main test variables were width-to-thickness ratio and shape of section. Test results were analyzed in the viewpoint of local buckling strength, yield strength, maximum strength and plastic deformation capacity of specimens. The experimental results showed that all specimens exceeded the maximum strength of calculated value by design code and represented similar deformation capacity regardless of width-to-thickness ratio. So, the limit of width-to-thickness ratio in high strength steel could be amended less strict.
