This paper summarizes full-scale test results on CFT column-to- flat plate connections has gained wide acceptance subjected to gravity loading. CFT construction has gained wide acceptance in a relatively short time in domestic building construction practice due to its various structural and construction advantages. However, efficient details for CFT column to flat plate connections have not been proposed yet. Based on the strategies that maximize economical field construction, several connecting schemes were proposed and tested. Test results showed strength and connection stiffness exceeding those of R/C flat p late counterparts. A semi-analytical procedure is presented to model the behavior of CFT column-to-flat plate connections. The five parameters to model elastic to post-punching catenary action range are calibrated based on the limited test data of t to progressive collapse prevention design is also illustrated.

The CFT (Concrete Filled steel Tubes) column-footing connection is cast-in-place embedded type which provides simple construction procedure, low cost, and superior structural performance. In this study, CFT column-footing connection of modular pier is proposed and structural performance is evaluated by experimental tests. To evaluate structural performance of the CFT column-footing connection, a series of experimental tests were performed for the 4 specimens with different embedded depth. As a result of the quasi-static test, the specimen with 0.6D (0.6 times the outside diameter of steel tube) embedded depth showed relatively low ductility than other specimens with larger embedded depth due to cone failure of base concrete occurred during the lower loading step. On the contrary, cone failure of the base concrete was not observed in the specimens with larger embedded depth than 0.9D, but typical flexural failure in lower part of CFT column was observed. With the analyses of force-displacement curve, displacement ductility, and energy dissipation capacity, it is concluded that the rational range of embedded depth of the CFT column-footing connection is from 0.9D to 1.2D in view of good seismic performance.

Internally Confined Hollow-Concrete Filled Tube(ICH-CFT) column which has two tubes on both side of concrete, inner tube and outer tube perform great seismic abilities, ductility and absorption of energy, by the tubes and the hollow part. So this study does qualitative analysis about seismic capacities depending on parameters - diameter of column, hollow ratio, thickness of tubes - by moment-curvature analysis.

This paper represents the results of experiments designed to investigate the time-dependent response of concrete and steel tube in circular concrete-filled steel tubes, as are deployed extensively in high-rise building construction. The experiments were performed for creep of concrete and CFT column specimens with three loading cases. The creep coefficient and specific creep(unit creep) obtained from the test results were used for estimating and comparing the time-dependent response of each case. From these analyses, it is show that CFT-column has many merits for long-term behavior.

Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFT) system is advantageous because it increases the load-carrying capacity without increasing the size of column. However CFT system has many benefits, it is not applied to field generally because of its heavyweight and difficulty of concrete filling method. As a solution to these problems, we proposed concrete filled steel tube column with hollow made by factory-manufactured PC method. The hollow concrete filled steel tube system is expected to obtain the high strength and high capacity of deformation despite it is a lightweight. This study deals with mechanical properties, strength and deformation, of hollow concrete filled steel tube subjected to axial load. 9 specimens were tested to examine mechanical properties closely, and the following results were obtained: All specimens basically showed higher initial rigidity and maximum strength with increased concrete filling rate. And most specimens showed almost linear behavior until around 80% of maximum strength regardless of filling rate, it is estimated that the elastic range is up to a half of the maximum strength which is the yield strength level.

CFT(Concrete-Filled Tube) structures have problems at processing cause closed section and concrete filling problems. In this study, a CFT structure that uses different types of diaphragms in its upper and lower connections to improve the concrete filling was tested and analyzed via the FEM program. Implementation of variable analysis of EP-T type to find out the reason that effect on the resistance force of the connection. As a result, through experiments and analysis investigated the structural characteristics of circular CFT beam-to-column connection.

Buildings become high and large. CFT(Concrete Filled steel Tube) columns have been developed to manage effectively that loads which columns support and cross sections of columns are increased. Because CFT column is the composite structure made of two different materials, many researches have been performed to look into mechanical behaviors. This study is an analytic study about bond stress on interface between concrete core and steel tube in circular and rectangular CFT columns. ABAQUS/Standard Version 5.8 is used to analyze bond stress by bond form and position of shear-connector, and improved analystic method about mechanical characters on interface is suggested.

A concrete filled square steel tube (CFT) is composed of the external steel material, which its strength is reduced in fire due to sudden temperature increase, and the internal concrete with high thermal capacity that can ensure the fire resistance performance of the structure. Therefore, research about the influence factors of the structural performance of CFT column is required in order to apply CFT column to a fire resisting structure, and additional research about influence for each condition is also necessary. Among the influence factors, the boundary condition between column and beam is important structurally, and it is one of the major factors that determine overall fire resisting performance. This study performed a fire experiment under loading in order to analyse the influences of CFT column to the boundary condition. As the results of the experiment, fire resistance time of 106 minutes was ensured for the clamped-end condition but 89 minutes for the hinge-end condition in case of the 360 cross section. And, fire resistance time of 113 minutes was ensured for the clamped-end condition but 78 minutes for the hinge-end condition in case of the 280 cross section.

Recently, it increases in use of CFT(Concrete filled steel tube, below CFT) because material and method are required to be diversification and High-Performance according to increase the super-high structure. But, CFT column lose bearing capacity under fire because steel tube is exposed to outside. As a result, structure is collapsed and then it cause much damage. In case of the Europe, Japan and America, they have studied the fire-resistance performance of CFT under fire for a long time. However, it would have hardly studied it in domestic because it is much difficulty about experiment machine and cost. So it is needed base on fire-resist performance of CFT under fire. Therefore, this study dynamic specificity of stub column which made tester of stub column based on facts of strength and mixing fiber evaluated used heating and load testing machine. As a result, it is willing to propose fundamental data for quick and accurate diagnosis of deteriorated concrete structure by fire damage with experiment according to the design high strength concrete.
