Concrete-Filled Double-Skin Steel Tubular Columns: Behavior and Design provides a thorough review of the recent advances on the behaviour and design of concrete-filled double-skin steel tubular (CFDST) columns. Drawing on their extensive knowledge and research, the authors cover topics such as different CFDST columns under axial compression, innovative techniques including the use of rubberised concrete, columns with different cross-sections, and steel material envelops and failure modes. This book is an overview of research carried out by this highly experienced and leading research group with specialist knowledge in the topic. It is an invaluable resource for researchers, graduates and post-graduate civil engineers and civil engineering designers.- Provides a comprehensive overview of advances on the behaviour and design of concrete-filled double-skin steel tubular (CFDST) columns over the past decade- Gives deep-dive explanation of important concepts such as the void ratio which makes these girders different from conventional concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns- Explains the failure modes of short and slender columns under compression, with detailed illustrations and photos from both real-life and virtual tests performed by the authors- Presents in-depth analysis of the ultimate strengths of CFDST columns with different steel envelops and concrete infills- Makes a detailed comparison with available international codes, such as Eurocode 3, and provides recommendations for future studies- Discusses new innovative confining stress-based design for different types of CFDST short columns
