Concrete Filled Steel Tubular (CFST) Columns in Composite Structures

Abstract

RCC and steel frames have been the most common frame systems for long times whereas composite frame system has also emerged as popular system for high rise buildings for few decades. Multi-storey composite frames are generally composed of structural steel members made composite with concrete. The use of concrete filled steel tubes (CFST) in building construction has seen renaissance in recent years due to their numerous advantages, apart from its superior structural performance making a typical composite frame structure. Their usage as columns in high-rise and multi-story buildings, as beams in low-rise industrial buildings and as arch bridges, has become extensive in many countries in last four decades with abundant examples. But, their usage in India is a new concept. Hence, this paper shall primarily emphasis to investigate the various aspects of CSFT members in the building industry; primarily considering the various aspects of these members which have turned its unique phase with the advancement of technology.
