Abstract
The test results and the composite column strengths predicted from the finite element analysis (FEA) were compared with the design strengths to evaluate the reliability of the design rules in the current American specifications for aluminum and concrete structures. Furthermore, design equations were proposed to consider the benefits of the composite columns due to the composite action between the aluminum tubes and concrete. The proposed design equations accurately predicted the ultimate strengths of the concrete-filled double-skin aluminum CHS stub columns.
