The use of steel tube confined concrete columns has been the interests of many structural engineers. For investigation of the axially loading capacity of short concrete filled double skin tubes (CFDST) columns, axial compression loading experiments were carried on 9 short CFDST column samples. According to experimental results and with numerical analysis, an ultimate load estimation equation of CFDST column with one correction parameter is presented, the linear relation between the parameter and the inner-to-outer diameters ratio Di/Do is given out. The ultimate load estimation equation is validated by the test results of short CFDST column samples.

An experimental study was made of the mechanical properties of large scale confined concrete subjected to the axial compression test. Eleven tied concrete columns and six plain concrete prisms were tested. In the test, each specimen had the same transverse reinforcement configuration, and similar volumetric ratio of lateral steel, while different size. The test results in this paper indicate that the size of the specimen has no obvious relationship with the ultimate strength, however, it does affect the post-peak ductility to some extent. As a supplement to the experimental study, a finite element method was adopted to imitate the mechanical behavior of the confined concrete under axial compression. The results of the imitation in this paper indicate the confinement mechanism of large scale specimens.

Axial compression tests were carried out on 6 square steel tube confined concrete short columns and 6 BFRP square pipe confined concrete axial compression tests. The concrete strength grades were C30, C40, and C50. The test results show that the failure modes of steel pipe and BFRP pipe are obviously different, and the BFRP pipe undergoes brittle failure. Compared with the short columns of concrete confined by BFRP pipes, the ultimate bearing capacity of axial compression is increased by -76.46%, -76.01%, and -73.06%, and the ultimate displacements are -79.20%, -80.78%, -71.71%.

Reactive powder concrete-filled steel tubes (RPCFSTs) have become an important research target in recent years. In engineering applications, RPCFSTs can provide superior vertical components for high-rise and tower buildings, thereby enabling developers to provide more floor space. However, this type of composite structure is prone to inelastic outward local buckling. The use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) wrapping to suppress such local buckling has shown great potential in limited test results. This paper presents experimental results concerning the axial compression of CFRP-confined reactive powder concrete-filled circular steel tubes (CF-RPCFSTs). We included 18 specimens in our experimental investigation, varying the number of CFRP layers, steel tube thickness, and RPC strength. According to our test results, CF-RPCFSTs exhibit compression shear failure and drum-shaped failure. The CFRP wrap can effectively enhance bearing capacity and postpone local buckling of the steel tube. In addition, three-layer CFRP-confined RPC-filled thin-wall steel tubes are suitable for engineering. We also propose a model to calculate the bearing capacity of CF-RPCFSTs. Compared to the existing model of CFRP-confined concrete-filled steel tubes, the results obtained using the proposed model are in good agreement with our experimental results.

The steel tube concrete columns with steel reinforcement cages, steel plates and steel tubes has been used in super high-rise buildings, which are called concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns with internal stiffeners. Based on the theory of limit equilibrium, the unified equation for the axial bearing capacity of the CFST columns with internal stiffeners is obtained. The derived equation in this study can provide reference for the future engineering applications.

This study investigates the suitability of the circularization technique for strengthening square concrete-filled square steel tube (CFSST) short columns. A total of 16 specimens were tested under axial compression. The main parameters under investigation were concrete strength, the thickness of arc cement mortar layer components (CAM), and the layers of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. Test results indicated that the failure mode of CFRP-confined circularized CFSST (C-C-CFSST) columns was similar to that of CFRP-confined concrete columns. The CFRP-confined circularized strengthening method can increase confinement efficacy and reduce the stress concentration at the corners of CFSST columns. Three existing CFRP-confined concrete stress-strain models were evaluated using the test results. The predictions of the Lam and Teng stress-strain model agree well with the test data.

Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns have been extensively studied and widely used in practice. Existing research has shown that non-circular CFST columns is much less ductile than their circular counterparts, particularly when thin/high strength steel (HSS) tubes and high-strength concrete are used. To address this problem, a new form of CFST columns has recently been proposed by the first author. The new column consists of a steel tube filled with concrete that is confined with HSS spiral reinforcement typically with a yield stress exceeding 1000 MPa. These columns, referred to as confined concrete-filled steel tubular (CCFST) columns, also maintain the ease for connection to CFST or steel beams. This paper presents the results of a series of concentric axial compression tests on such columns of square cross-section to demonstrate their advantages. The experimental program included 13 CCFST columns, four CFST columns without internal spiral confinement, two hollow steel tube (HST) columns, and 11 circular HSS spiral-confined concrete columns. Three different compressive strengths and three HSS spiral pitches were examined in the experimental program. The CFST columns, HST columns, and HSS spiral-confined concrete columns were all tested under axial compression to gain a good understanding of the confinement mechanism in a CCFST column. The test results show that the new columns possess much greater ductility than those without internal spiral confinement, although the use of HSS spirals increases the steel volume by only a small percentage. It is also shown that the axial load-axial strain curve of a CCFST column can be conservatively predicted by summing the axial load-axial strain curves of the hollow steel tube without local buckling, the HSS spiral-confined concrete core, and the sandwiched concrete between the two.

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).
