Abstract
This study presents a simplified analytical method for predicting the ultimate strength of compressed concrete filled square steel tube columns based on the triple shear unified yield criterion. Based on the triple shear unified yield criterion theory solutions of thick tube, the calculation formulas of axial bearing capacity of the concrete-filled square steel tube columns were deduced with considerations of the restriction effects of steel tube and the effects of the intermediate principal stressed. The results show that the intermediate principal stress effect parameter b has influences on the ultimate bearing capacity. The formulas in the paper have significance in exerting material potential and save material.
