Abstract

Steel-reinforced concrete-filled circular steel tubular (SRCFT) stub columns is a novel type of composite columns, which have a great potential to be used as piers or columns in practical engineering. Hence, it is essential to comprehend the compressive performance of SRCFT stub columns and suitably predict the compressive strength for the engineering design and applications. This paper aims to investigate the compressive behavior of SRCFT stub columns through combined experimental and numerical studies. A total of 8 specimens were tested to investigate the compressive performance of SRCFT stub columns in detail, in terms of the axial load-strain curve, ultimate bearing capacity, ductility, ..
