Assessment of current methods for the design of composite columns in buildings

摘要: Abstract This paper presents the design assessment of encased I-sections and concrete filled composite columns based on approaches given in Eurocode 4: Part 1.1, BS 5400: 5 AISC LRFD. includes studies parameters, comparison nominal strength predicted by three codes strengths with available test results. In some cases, results obtained from above may vary considerably. is because different considerations adopted these codes. However, methods are found to be mostly conservative when compared 1.1 has major factors its favour terms comprehensiveness wide scope application.
