Experimental Behaviour of Concrete Filled Steel Tubes (CFST) with Initial Concrete Imperfection Subjected to Eccentric Compression

Article Preview

Abstract:

Gap between steel tube and concrete core could be recognized as a type of initial concrete imperfection in concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) members. This paper is an attempt to study the effect of gap on the behaviour of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns subjected to eccentric compression. A total 14 specimens were tested and the main parameters were the gap type (circumferential gap and spherical-cap) and gap ratio. The influence of gap on the failure mode and ultimate strength of CFST columns were experimentally examined.
