dc.description.abstractConcrete filled steel tube columns (CFSTCs) are commonly used in large-span bridges and high-rise buildings. As the shrinkage of concrete may lead to significant degradation in the mechanical performance of CFSTCs, expansive concrete or fibre reinforced concrete is usually employed to improve the mechanical performance of CFSTCs. This study presents an experimental study on the combined effects of expansive agents and steel fibres on the axial compressive behaviour of circular CFSTCs. 13 CFSTCs were designed and manufactured using concrete mixes with varying expansive agent rates and steel fibre contents. The time-dependent expansive behaviours of the specimens were monitored during the concrete curing period. Then, the 13 specimens were tested under axial compression load. The failure modes, compression load-axial strain relationship, hoop strain and axial strain relationship, and ductility were investigated. The results demonstrated that the combined addition of expansive agents and steel fibres would substantially improve the compressive strength and ductile behaviour of CFSTCs.
