Eccentric Compression Performance of Core-Steel Tube with T-Shaped Steel Reinforced Concrete Column by Liang Gao, Peng Wang, Xuehui You

“…Furthermore, as the eccentricity increases, there is a notable decrease in the bearing capacity of the specimen. (3) The slenderness ratio affects the failure mode of the CSTRC columns, with consideration for second-order effects necessary when the ratio exceeds 22. (4) Increasing the concrete strength, steel strength, and steel ratio significantly enhances the ultimate load values of the CSTRC columns. (5) A comparison between calculated and simulated values demonstrates good agreement, validating the accuracy of the proposed method.…”
