Abstract

A review on the properties of recycled aggregate concrete filled steel tubes (RACSFT) was presented, followed by the short overview on the related researches. The uniaxial mechanical behavior, flexural performance, creep performance as well as eccentric loaded behavior of RACSFT specimens were discussed. It was found that the differences between the element made of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) and that of natural aggregate concrete (NAC) could not be ignored. The performance of the RACFST is inferior to that of natural concrete filled steel tube (CFST). But, the RACSFT can be applied into structural elements safely. Based on the test results, it was also concluded that the RACSFT is an effective method to improve the application of RAC.
