To obtain superior corrosion resistance and impact resistance, as well as good economic benefits, two new types of composite structure called as steel tube internally-reinforced concrete-filled weathering steel tube (STRCFWST) and steel spiral internally-reinforced concrete-filled weathering steel (SSRCFWST) columns are proposed and compared in terms of their impact resistance in this paper. Eleven impact tests were conducted and three parameters comprising steel spiral diameter, wall thicknesses of outer and inner steel tube were considered to evaluate their influences on the lateral impact behaviors. Results show the presence of inner steel tube and reinforcement cage significantly enhances the impact resistance while slightly decreases the energy absorption capacity. Increasing inner steel tube wall thickness helps to improve the impact resistance, however the contribution is not so good as that produced by increasing the outer steel tube wall thickness, whilst varying steel spiral diameter almost has no impact. Numerical models were developed by ABAQUS/Explicit and verified via the test, based on which the full-range behaviors of STRCFWST, SSRCFWST and unreinforced concrete-filled weathering steel tube (CFWST) columns under impact loading were compared and discussed. It is demonstrated that steel tube and reinforcement cage provide little confinement on concrete infill under impact. With the same internal steel ratio, inner steel tube makes a greater contribution to sectional bending moment resistance and energy absorption as compared to the reinforcement cage.
