Bearing Capacities of Different-Diameter Concrete-Filled Steel Tubes under Axial Compression by Wenjing Wang, Zhenyun Tang, Zhenbao Li, Hua Ma

“…This study therefore investigates the effect of different diameters (219, 426, 630, and 820 mm) on the axial compression of short concrete columns in steel (Q235) tubes. It is found that the peak nominal stress decreases with increasing specimen size and that the axial bearing capacity is determined by three separate components: the cylinder compressive strength of the concrete, the improvement in strength due to the confining effect of the steel tube, and the longitudinal strength of the steel tube. …”
