Abstract
This paper presents an experimental investigation into the structural behaviour of concrete filled, thin walled, steel tubular stub column with tab stiffeners. The stiffening was attained by welding together four pieces of lipped angle, whereupon two parts of the lips were notched and folded vertically in order to form the tab stiffeners. The effects of the tab stiffeners on the bond and compressive strengths were investigated experimentally using 18 and 10 specimens respectively. It was observed that the tab stiffener does enhance both the bond strength and the axial load capacity of the concrete filled thin walled steel tubular stub column tested.
