RESUMO

Concrete-filled steel tubular columns are structural elements made of a steel tube filled with structural concrete. The main objective of this work was study the global behavior of concrete-filled steel tubular columns. For this, some variables were evaluated: concrete compressive strength (fc), length-to-diameter ratio (L/D), diameter-to-thickness ratio (D/t) and the type of load application (on concrete core or on composite cross section). Tests of 64 concrete filled columns were performed. The columns were subjected to axial load. The results of experimental compressive strength were compared to results from three different international codes (EUROCODE 4:2004, ANSI/AISC:2005 e CAN/CSA:2001) and the national NBR 8800, draft 2008. The results showed, in general, a conservative behavior of values predicted by NBR and ANSI/AISC e non-conservative values by EC4 and CAN/CSA. Based on comparisons between experimental values and codes predictions, an error model variable was estimated to each code and a reliability analysis was performed. The results indicate that the EC4 is the best code with less tendentious behavior of its design equation. A numerical analysis of columns with slenderness (L/D) equal to 10 was carried out to try to predict the peak load of columns and compare the results with those from experimental analysis. Althougth the results of the numerical analysis had a good match to the experimental ones, the values, in average, were conservatives.
