Stability and ductility of high performance steel sections with concrete infill

Behaviour of short and slender concrete-filled stainless steel tubular columns

“…This can be proved by the measured lateral strains of steel tubes in the current tests. This trend is the same as that observed by many other researchers when conducting tests on conventional carbon steel CFST columns [3,17].…”

“…Owing to the benefits of stainless steel, it is believed that this steel material will be increasingly used in civil engineering and construction. This has been recently witnessed in a lot of projects around the world [2,3].…”

Stability of rectangular concrete-filled steel tubes

“…Many researches and studies have been devoted to the field of CFSTs: Lee [5], Yang and Han [6], Uy [7] Krishan and Melnichuk [8]. Sakino et al [9] tested specimens of centrally loaded concrete-filled steel tube short columns.…”

Local Buckling of Axially Compressed Rectangular Concrete-Filled Steel Tubes

“…Therefore, research should be directed to the enhancement of validity of these standards. Authors such as Mouli and Khelafi [11], Uy [12] investigated the ultimate strength, stability and ductility characteristics of rectangular concrete-filled steel tubes (CFST)'s subjected to axial compression using high performance steels and lightweight concrete aggregates. Experimental tests, conducted by Lee [13], on high-strength concrete-infilled steel tube columns subjected to eccentric loads, showed the influence of width-to-thickness ratio, buckling length-sectional width ratio and eccentricity ratio on the behaviour of these structures.…”
