Optimal Calculation Method of Eccentric Bearing Capacity of Concrete-Filled Steel Tube Short Columns

Abstract:

The currently formulae with many coefficients are too complicated to calculate the bearing capacity of concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) short columns. In this paper, an optimal calculation method was proposed for calculating the eccentric bearing capacity of CFST short columns by means of mechanical derivation. Additionally, the calculating results are compared with experimental data. It is shown that the optimal calculating formulae are highly accurate and easily applicable in engineering design.
