Abstract

The purpose of this research is to clarify the scale effect on the uni-axial compressive behavior of concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) short columns. Three different sizes of CFT short column specimens were tested. Other experimental parameters were the shape of the cross section, the strength of filled concrete and loading methods. Scale effects on the compressive strength of square CFT columns were observed, while those of circular CFT columns were not clearly observed.
