"Analyzing Compression Strength Variations Rate in Concrete-Filled Steel Tubes: Impact of Changes in Steel Cross-Sectional "

Abstract

This study investigates how changes in the cross-sectional shapes of steel tubes affect the compression strength of concrete-filled steel tubes (CFST). The study analyses the common shapes of square, rectangular, and circular tubes, each with the same thickness. Understanding the impact of shape variations on compression strength is crucial for optimizing the design and structural performance of CFST elements in construction projects. The research aims to provide insights into the relationship between steel cross-sectional changes and CFST compression strength through comprehensive analysis and experimentation, contributing to enhanced structural design methodologies and more resilient infrastructure. This study offers practical guidelines for engineers and architects to effectively utilize CFST in various construction applications, ensuring safety and durability in building structures, by examining the variations in compression strength across different shapes. Moreover, the findings of this research could potentially lead to advancements in construction materials and techniques, promoting sustainable and efficient infrastructure development.
