Abstract
This paper describes the experimental work on the tests of nine concrete-filled square and rectangular hollow structural section (HSS) columns subjected to axial load, uniaxial bending or biaxial bending. The experimental results suggest that the overall buckling appears accompanying with local buckling near the mid-height of column. Good agreement was found between the semi-sine wave shape and the experimental deflection shape. It is found that the cross-section remains plane before the specimen reached its load-carrying capacity. Also, the experimental results are compared with the values calculated from the AISC-LRFD, EC4 and CECS design codes, which shows that all codes provide safe bearing capacities. Compared with columns subjected to an axial load or uniaxial bending, the calculated capacities of column subjected to biaxial bending are more conservative. Among these three design codes, the capacities based on the EC4 design code yield results which are the closest to the experimental ones. The results calculated from the AISC-LRFD design code are the most conservative.
