Abstract

This paper aims to investigate seismic performance of the concrete-filled double skin steel tubular columns whose geometry is prismatic. To this end, a number of column specimens with inner section of square, diamond and circular shapes as well as outer section of a prismatic geometry (i.e., square shaped), whose inclination grows from top to bottom with slope of 2.1, were built and then, subjected to the loading protocol designated by ATC-24. Based on the results, failure mode of the columns with inner section of square or diamond is similar, but, to the contrary, the specimens with circular section incurred more intense damages. As an important observation, it was found that base of the columns ruptures diagonally with slope of 45° after 20 loading cycles. Moreover, the initial stiffness and ductility ratio of the specimens, whose inner section is diamond-shaped, were found to be greater than those of the other specimens. Another important point achieved herein is that the column with circular inner section exhibits a more stable behavior, and it does not undergo an abrupt reduction in energy absorption capacity compared to the other columns.
