Design of Composite Columns Made of Concrete Filled Tubes with Inner Massive Core Profiles and High Strength Materials

This paper deals with the design of composite columns made of concrete filled tubes with inner massive core profiles as well as high strength steel and high strength concrete. New research work regarding the effect of residual stresses in inner core profiles resulting from the cooling process during fabrication is presented. Based on Finite Element studies new models are presented for the determination of the distribution of residual stresses in solid round steel bars, taking into account the steel grade, the dimensions of the core profiles and the cooling conditions during fabrication. Additional theoretical investigations are presented to estimate the effects of creep and shrinkage under long term loading. Finally recommendations are given for the design of this type of composite column based on the methods given in Eurocode 4-1-1 [1].
