Abstract

The behaviour of axially loaded square and circular concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns when exposed to elevated temperatures is investigated in this paper. The fire resistance of this kind of composite tubes is calculated. Comparison of the square and circular columns in the fire resistance shows that, for columns with the same steel and concrete cross-section areas, the circular column has slightly better fire resistance than the square column.
