Chapter 8 Composite Structure Concrete-filled steel tubular structure Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) was the member which was formed by concrete filled into steel tubular. Classification Main advantages Interaction between steel tube and concrete Cross-sectional properties The steel ratio in the CFST cross section is much larger than those in the reinforced concrete and concrete encased steel cross sections. Steel of the CFST section is well plastified under bending since it is located on the outside the section Construction efficiency Forms and reinforcing bars are omitted, and concrete casting is done by tremie tube or pump-up method, which lead to savings of manpower and constructional cost and time Constructional site remains clean Fire resistance Concrete improves the fire resistance performance, and the amount of fire proof material can be reduced or its use can be omitted. Cost performance Because of the merits listed above, a better cost performance is obtained by replacing a steel structure by a CFST structure Ecology Environmental burden can be reduced by omitting the form work, and by reusing steel tubulars and high-quality concrete as recycled aggregates. Apllication Basic performance of CFST Confining effect on concrete the common opinion is that in a composite column consisting of a concrete-filled hollow steel section, compressive confining stresses on the concrete core are induced by passive confinement provided by the steel tubular. The confining pressure is not constant as is the case for active confinement, and also depends on the lateral deformation of the concrete core under axial load and the stress-strain relationship of the confining steel. Interaction between the concrete core and the steel tubular Load transfer mechanisms the investigations for concrete-filled steel tubular show it is of great practical and economic interest not to have any mechanical shear connect
