Theoretical Framework for Creep Effect Analysis of Axially Loaded Short CFST Columns under High Stress Levels by Shiwei Li, Yongqing Yang, Wangqing Wen, Aiguo Yan

“…Due to its excellent mechanical performances, axially loaded concrete-filled steel circular tube (CFST) columns have been widely used in structural engineering. As an important long-term behaviour of CFST structures, the creep has an obvious nonlinear property under high stress levels, which makes the influence of creep more complicated. …”
