Abstract
A significant amount of research has been conducted worldwide on the behavior of concrete filled
steel tube columns. this thesis synthesize available experimental data on concrete-filled steel tube (CFT)
specimens and summarizes the data from 1100 tests on concrete-filled steel tube columns (294 CCFT and
289 RCFT columns without moment, 286 CCFT and 231 RCFT columns with moment) and compares
their failure load with the prediction of Eurocode 4 and AISC-2010. Information on material and
geometric properties on each specimen are summarized. The comparison between Eurocode 4 and AISC-
2010 show that Eurocode 4 can predict very well for columns subjected to axial load with no moment and
for circular CFT beam-columns while the AISC-2010 gives good prediction for rectangular beam
columns (columns with moment). Additionally, comparison made based on material strength, both
Eurocode 4 and AISC-2010 predict on a safe side for steel tubes filled with high strength concrete.
