Mechanical Properties of High Strength Concrete Filled Steel Tubular Columns Part 2: Slender Columns and Eccentrically Loaded Columns

Abstract:

This study continued the investigation into the mechanical properties of high strength concrete filled steel tubular columns, (HSCFST). The test results for slender columns show that the load bearing capacities and maximum displacement ratio (the ratio of displacement to the initial length at peak load) of the column decreases as slenderness ratio, determined as the ratio of the length to diameter, increases. The test results for eccentrically loaded columns show that when the slenderness ratio is kept constant, the load bearing capacity and maximum strain decrease as the eccentricity ratio increases, with the eccentricity ratio defined as the ratio as the ratio of eccentricity to radius. The formula for calculating the load bearing capacities of slender columns and the eccentrically loaded columns are presented in the paper. These formulas are designed for inclusion in design code documents.
