Confinement effect of ring-confined concrete-filled-steel-tube columns under uni-axial load

MH Lai, JCM Ho - Engineering Structures, 2014 - Elsevier
Abstract Concrete-filled-steel-tube (CFST) columns show superior strength and ductility
performance because of composite action. However, this cannot be fully developed at early …

Uni-axial behaviour of externally confined UHSCFST columns

MH Lai, MT Chen, FM Ren, JCM Ho - Thin-Walled Structures, 2019 - Elsevier
Thanks to the larger and more continuous confining stress provided by hollow steel tube,
