Experimental Study on The Strength and Behaviour of Concrete Infilled Light Gauge Steel Square Columns

Md. Abul Kalam Azad

An experimental study on the strength and behaviour of concrete infilled light gauge steel square columns(CFSSC) has been carried out. Six specimens of CFSSC and three specimens of SSC with and without transverse stiffeners were tested under concentric compressive load. Based on the experimental results, a parameter representing the increase in strength of the composite column due to addition of concrete and stiffeners is proposed.
