Composite concrete filled steel tube columns are increasingly used for high-rise building structures, owing to their excellent structural
performance such as superior load-bearing capacity, high ductility,
good energy dissipation and fire behaviour which arises from the
combination of the two different materials in the structure.
Composite structures exploit the characteristics of steel and
concrete; steel with its high tensile strength and ductility and
concrete with its high compressive strength and stiffness. In
general, concrete filled composite columns with circular hollow
sections (CHS) have the advantage over columns with other
section shapes due to the circular cross sections providing a
uniform confinement to the concrete core.
