Composite columns made of concrete-filled hollow steel sections with embedded steel cores
Abstract
A review of current surveys related to composite columns made of concrete filled tubes with embedded steel cores, known as Geilinger columns, is presented in the paper. Advantages and scope of application of this innovative composite column type are presented. Calculation of such columns according to the general method given in EN 1994-1-1, which is applied with known geometrical and structural imperfections, is explained. The simplified calculation method suitable for engineering practice is also considered. The aspects of fire resistance design are discussed.
