Nonlinear numerical analysis and proposed equation for axial loading capacity of concrete filled steel tube column with initial imperfection

Haseeb Ahmad, Muhammad Fahad Ejaz and Muhammad Aslam

Abstract

The use of concrete filled steel tube (CFST) column is widely accepted due to its property of high axial load carrying capacity, more ductility and more resistant to earthquake specially using in bridges and high-rise buildings. The initial imperfection (
