Axial Compression Behavior of Circular Concrete-Filled High-Strength Thin-Walled Steel Tubular Columns with Out-of-Code D/t Ratios by Jun-Xin Li, Jian-Tao Wang, Qing Sun, Yan-Ru Wu, Shi-Ming Zhou, Fa-Cheng Wang

“…Finally, a theoretical model for calculating axial bearing capacity was derived based on unified twin-shear strength theory by considering the influence of intermediate principal stress. The research results indicate that a relatively high confine effect can be guaranteed for CFHTST columns under out-of-code D/t ratios, given that the ratio Nu/Nnom between the measured capacity (Nu) and nominal cross-sectional capacity (Nnom) mainly distributes within 1.179∼1.292; the full-range analysis reflects that the axial load-deformation curve can be distinguished by four various loading stages; the scope b = 0.3∼0.55 of intermediate stress coefficient is generally suggested for predicting axial strength of circular CFST columns within an error of ±5%. …”
