Behaviour of composite steel-concrete elements in various loading stages is quite well analysed by theoretical investigations and experiments. Concrete-Filled Steel Tube (CFST) is one of many composite elements used at present in civil engineering. Different approaches and design philosophies were adopted in different design codes for it. But for hollow CFST elements, which are more effective than ordinary CFST, any code does not provide information about how to design these elements. Further investigations of hollow composite CFST elements are needed. In loading stage, when a particular level of stresses exists, an interaction between steel tube and concrete core appears and therefore a complex stress state of element takes place, which increases the load-bearing capacity of the whole composite element. This interaction between components of CFST elements is reached because of different material TI - BEHAVIOUR OF HOLLOW CONCRETE‐FILLED STEEL TUBULAR COMPOSITE ELEMENTS JF - JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT DO - 10.3846/13923730.2007.9636429 DA - 2007-06-30 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/behaviour-of-hollow-concrete-filled-steel-tubular-composite-elements-8hqBRW0VYh DP - DeepDyve ER -
