Axial Compression Performance of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Columns with Different D/t Ratios by Preetha Achuthan, Ganapathy Ganesh Prabhu, George Gabriel Vimal Arokiaraj, Panneerselvam Arul Sivanantham, Subramanian Suthagar

“…The impacts of three diameter/thickness (D/t) ratios (21.22, 25.46, and 31.83) and concrete strengths (40 N/mm2, 50 N/mm2, and 60 N/mm2) on the strength capabilities of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns are investigated in this study. The central composite design (CCD) of the response surface methodology (RSM) was used to design the trials in order to complete the tests in a cost-effective manner. 13 (9 distinct tests) columns were evaluated according to the CCD experimental design, and the failure mode of the specimens, load–deformation behavior, and ultimate strength capacity were investigated. …”
