Abstract

Concrete-filled double-skin steel tubular (CFDST) Columns considered as a new type of Concrete Filled Steel Tubular (CFST) Columns. It consists of an inner and outer steel tube with the annulus between the skins filled with concrete. The concrete is properly compacted and filled in between the steel surfaces. CFDST are high performance composite columns that are increasingly being used in bridges and high-rise buildings as well as to reinforce CFST columns. CFDST has many advantages over CFST such as improved stability, section modulus, lighter weight and better damping characteristics. The inner tube increases their strength and ductility as compared to CFST. The hollow steel tubes can be chosen with any type of cross section, commonly circular and square tubes are preferred.
