This document summarizes an experimental study that tested circular concrete-filled steel tube columns with varying parameters. 45 specimens were tested with different fiber percentages (0-2%), tube diameter-to-wall-thickness ratios (D/t from 15-25), and length-to-diameter (L/d) ratios (from 2.97-7.04). The results found that columns filled with fiber-reinforced concrete exhibited higher stiffness, equal ductility, and enhanced energy absorption compared to those filled with plain concrete. The load carrying capacity increased with fiber content up to 1.5% but not at 2.0%. The analytical predictions of failure load closely matched the experimental values.

Ultimate Behavior of Lightweight High Strength Concrete Filled Steel Tube (LW...IOSR Journals
Strength and ductility of concrete members can be significantly improved with lateral confinement, usually achieved by using a steel tube casing. The concrete confinement can be utilized to make bridge lighter and have longer spans. In addition, a significant portion of the load carried concrete bridge girders is the self-weight of the girders and deck. If all or part of the girder and deck can be made using high strength lightweight concretes, there is a potential for appreciable economic savings since the self-weight could be reduced by as much as 15-20%. The study described herein investigates the static nonlinear behavior of lightweight high strength concrete filled steel tube (LWHCFST) bridges up to failure. The current study had two specific goals. The first was to experimentally determine the static modulus of elasticity of confined high strength lightweight concrete mixture. The second was to develop a nonlinear finite element computer program to study the ultimate behavior of a filled tube (LWHCFST) example bridge. The nonlinear stress-strain behavior of confined high strength lightweight concrete is evaluated experimentally by the authors and is used to help establish a comparison between the ultimate behavior of the bridge using confined normal weight concrete and confined high strength lightweight concrete. The ultimate strength of the bridge is related to the occurrence of an equivalent failure mechanism. The study indicated that the use of (LWHCFST) is beneficial for extending bridge girder lengths

Results obtained revealed that both the predicted values and calculated values have a linear correlation with an R2 of 96.4%. On this basis the Derived Prediction Model can be said to be valid within the limits of the study.

Abstract
Concrete filled steel tubular columns are gaining its popularity in engineering practice. However, local buckling is the main criteria which effects on strength and ductility for the composite columns. In order to enhance their overall performance, one of the most effective measures is to provide stiffeners for the steel tubes. In the present research, experimental studies have been devoted to investigating the behavior of self-compacting Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFST) stub columns strengthened by single or double stiffeners. A total of 36 stub columns specimen under monotonic compression load were tested in order to discover the best configuration of column system where (specimen having zero stiffeners, single stiffener, double stiffeners) each for hollow steel and with SCC in-filled are tested for 7 days, 28 days and 56 days strength with circular cross-sections of dimensions 300mm height x100mm diameter x 2mm thickness. The experimental results indicated that the use of Stiffeners strengthen the CFST has a significant effect on the overall behavior of CFST such as enhancement on its strength and ductility. Also the Stiffeners confinement delays local buckling of steel tube, prevents a sudden strength reduction caused by the local buckling of the steel tube, and increases lateral confinement of the concrete core. It is found that the best configuration of Stiffeners in the Steel tubes is providing it in transverse direction with single and double stiffeners at a height of h/2 and h/3 respectively.

Results of the experimental study on the axial compressive behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) wrapped with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) have been presented in this paper. A total of 18 concrete cylinders were tested under axial compression. The effects of steel fiber parameters were investigated which includes fiber aspect ratio (AR) and fiber volume fraction (VF). The concrete cylinders were divided into groups of confined and unconfined ones. In accordance with previous study, it was found that, FRP confined cylinders showed greater axial stress than that of unconfined specimens. Although the presence of steel fiber increases the peak axial stresses for both confined and unconfined group of specimens, but no significant change of peak axial stress (and peak strain) has been observed in both confined and unconfined group due to increase of fiber volume ratio. But with the increase of fiber aspect ratio, the peak axial stresses of both unconfined and FRPconfined cylinders were found to slightly decrease. It was also observed that, concrete specimens reinforced with internal steel fiber absorbed much higher energy than that of unreinforced ones.
This is my M.Tech Project presentation. The project was carried out at R.V College of Engineering and B.M.S College of Engineering, Bangalore. In this project, the axial load carrying capacity of CFST Columns was studied and the experimental results were compared with Eurocode-4 and AISC-LRFD-2005. The flexural capacity of CFST frames was also carried out.
Dynamic Analysis of Double-Skin Composite Steel PlatesIOSR Journals
Double Skin Composite (DSC) plates are subjected to impact required to cause complete perforation and the accompanied failure modes are investigated. The amount of energy absorbed is calculated by capturing the residual velocity of penetrator after perforating the lower plate. The difference in initial kinetic energy and residual kinetic energy is the amount of energy absorbed by the panel. In the present paper a non-linear three-dimensional finite element models for Double Skin Composite panels subjected to dynamic loading is introduced. Pilot model is used to investigate the failure pattern in the composite panel when subjected to impact loads by rigid steel penetrator, while the other models are used to analyze the energy absorption capacity of such system when perforated. Results showed that such elements have good ability of absorbing energy when subjected to perforation, due to ductility of lower plate skin and vertical stiffness of lower shear studs.

Strengthening of reinforced concrete beam using steel fiber at different dept...eSAT Journals
Abstract
This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation for enhancing the shear and ultimate strength capacities of reinforced concrete (RC) beams using steel fiber at different depths. Ultimate loads, load-deflection curves, cracking and crushing patterns have been compared with those of the RC beams without steel fiber henceforth noted as controlled beam. A total of four sets of experiments each having three concrete beams, one set control beam and three sets with randomly distributed discrete steel fiber at different depths henceforth noted as fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) beam, were performed to determine the most economical structure in the perspective of ultimate strength and shear capacity. From the test results, it was found that incorporation of steel fiber in RC beams have shown to be effective in enhancing the shear strength capacity. It has also been observed that the strength increases with the use of varying depth of steel fiber. Beam strengthened using this scheme has shown 20% increase in shear strength and ultimate load in comparison to controlled beam.

A Study on Effect of Sizes of aggregates on Steel Fiber Reinforced ConcreteIJERD Editor
Plain, unreinforced concrete is a brittle material, with a low tensile strength, limited ductility and
little resistance to cracking. In order to improve the inherent tensile strength of concrete there is a need of
multidirectional and closely spaced reinforcement, which can be provided in the form of randomly distributed
fibers. Steel fiber is one of the most commonly used fibers The present experimental study considers the effect
of aggregate size and steel fibers on the modulus of elasticity of concrete. Crimped steel fibers at volume
fraction of 0%.0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% were used. Study on effect of volume fraction of fibers and change of
aggregate size on the modulus of elasticity of concrete was also deemed as an important part of present
experimental investigation. This work aims in studying the mechanical behavior of concrete in terms of modulus
of elasticity with the change of aggregate size reinforced with steel fibers of different series for M30 and M50
grade concretes. The results obtained show that the addition of steel fiber improves the modulus of elasticity of
concrete. It was also analyzed that by increasing the fiber volume fraction from 0%, to 1.5% there was a healthy
effect on modulus of elasticity of Steel Fiber Reinforced concrete.
Investigation on Behaviour of Cold Formed Deep Joist Channel SectionDr. Amarjeet Singh
The application of cold formed steel elements in construction is becoming very popular due to several advantages like Speedy construction, higher strength to weight ratio, dimensional stability and recycled material. Nowadays, CFS is proposed to use as building components as beams, columns, Joists, wall panels etc. The load carrying capacity of cold-formed steel (CFS) joists can be enhanced by employing optimization techniques. Recent research studies have mainly focused on optimizing the bending capacity of conventional channel with and without lips that are used as joists. The objective of the study is to examine the flexural strength, failure mode and load-deflection of the cold formed steel double furred channel section with and without web openings under flexure.
Experimental study on Torsion behavior of Flange beam with GFRPIJSRD
The Study deals with experimental study using glass fiber polymers in civil science. Repairing represents an important aspect of the construction industry and its importance is increasing due to surrounding conditions or geoenvironmental degradations, increased service loads, reduced ability (to hold or do something) due to (old/allowing to get old/getting older), worsening because of poor construction materials and work quality’s and need for seismic-related have demanded the need for repair and rehabilitation of existing structures. Fiber reinforced polymers has been utilized effectively as a part of numerous applications such as low weight, high quality and capacity to last. Numerous past examination chips away at torsion strengthening were centered on strong rectangular RC Beams with distinctive strip designs and diverse sorts of fiber. Distinctive models were produced to torsion test for strengthening of RC beams and effectively utilized for approval of the test works.In the present work test study was done with a specific end goal to have a superior comprehension the conduct of torsion reinforcing of strong RC flanged T-Beam. A RC T-beam is deliberately examined and intended for torsion like a RC rectangular beam; the impact of cement on flange is disregarded by codes. In the present study impact of width in changing so as to oppose torsion is concentrated on flange width of controlled bars. Alternate specification considered is reinforcing and fiber orientations.

Enhancement of torsional resistance in fibrous normal strength concrete beamseSAT Journals
Abstract This paper highlights the influence of thickness of concrete cover on the torsional resistance in the fibrous rectangular solid concrete beams under pure torsion. In this investigation, thickness of concrete cover vary between 18 and 53 mm. To study the influence of concrete cover in under-reinforced fibrous normal strength concrete, four fibrous concrete beams were cast and test under pure torsion. The under-reinforced concrete beams was designed based on ACI-318-14. The transverse and longitudinal reinforcement indexes are kept constant in the beams. While the aspect ratio of the beam cross section and span to depth ratio of the beams are 1.22 and 5.75, respectively. The test results were claimed that the torsional resistance provided by concrete and reinforcements plus fibre were enhanced at crack and peak loads up to 76.4% and 64.4%, respectively. In contrast, twisting angle, shear strain in concrete, strain in transverse and longitudinal reinforcements were reduced up to 57.8%, 65%, 89.3% and 95.6%, respectively. The spacing between cracks and the angle of inclination of crack at failure was increased whereas the number of cracks reduced. The dimensional analysis was used to proposed equations to predict torsional resistance at crack and peak loads including the contribution of concrete cover. In addition, the Buckingham П theorem was used for this purpose. Based on the 34 data from previous researches and the data in this research, nonlinear multiple regressions in Minitab software version 16 was used to predict the coefficients of the proposed П-groups equations. The proposed models have shown a good agreement with test results. Keywords: Fibrous Concrete, Concrete Cover, and Dimensional Analysis
Mechanical properties of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete for pavementseSAT Journals
Abstract
The effect of addition of mono fibers and hybrid fibers on the mechanical properties of concrete mixture is studied in the present
investigation. Steel fibers of 1% and polypropylene fibers 0.036% were added individually to the concrete mixture as mono fibers and
then they were added together to form a hybrid fiber reinforced concrete. Mechanical properties such as compressive, split tensile and
flexural strength were determined. The results show that hybrid fibers improve the compressive strength marginally as compared to
mono fibers. Whereas, hybridization improves split tensile strength and flexural strength noticeably.

Material management in construction – a case studyeSAT Journals
Abstract
The objective of the present study is to understand about all the problems occurring in the company because of improper application
of material management. In construction project operation, often there is a project cost variance in terms of the material, equipments,
manpower, subcontractor, overhead cost, and general condition. Material is the main component in construction projects. Therefore,
if the material management is not properly managed it will create a project cost variance. Project cost can be controlled by taking
corrective actions towards the cost variance. Therefore a methodology is used to diagnose and evaluate the procurement process
involved in material management and launch a continuous improvement was developed and applied. A thorough study was carried
out along with study of cases, surveys and interviews to professionals involved in this area. As a result, a methodology for diagnosis
and improvement was proposed and tested in selected projects. The results obtained show that the main problem of procurement is
related to schedule delays and lack of specified quality for the project. To prevent this situation it is often necessary to dedicate
important resources like money, personnel, time, etc. To monitor and control the process. A great potential for improvement was
detected if state of the art technologies such as, electronic mail, electronic data interchange (EDI), and analysis were applied to the
procurement process. These helped to eliminate the root causes for many types of problems that were detected.

Pavements are subjected to severe condition of stresses and weathering effects from the day they are constructed and opened to traffic
mainly due to its fatigue behavior and environmental effects. Therefore, pavement rehabilitation is one of the most important
components of entire road systems. This paper highlights the design of concrete pavement with added mono fibers like polypropylene,
steel and hybrid fibres for a widened portion of existing concrete pavement and various overlay alternatives for an existing
bituminous pavement in an urban road in Bangalore. Along with this, Life cycle cost analyses at these sections are done by Net
Present Value (NPV) method to identify the most feasible option. The results show that though the initial cost of construction of
concrete overlay is high, over a period of time it prove to be better than the bituminous overlay considering the whole life cycle cost.
The economic analysis also indicates that, out of the three fibre options, hybrid reinforced concrete would be economical without
compromising the performance of the pavement.

Laboratory studies of dense bituminous mixes ii with reclaimed asphalt materialseSAT Journals
Abstract
The issue of growing demand on our nation’s roadways over that past couple of decades, decreasing budgetary funds, and the need to
provide a safe, efficient, and cost effective roadway system has led to a dramatic increase in the need to rehabilitate our existing
pavements and the issue of building sustainable road infrastructure in India. With these emergency of the mentioned needs and this
are today’s burning issue and has become the purpose of the study.
In the present study, the samples of existing bituminous layer materials were collected from NH-48(Devahalli to Hassan) site.The
mixtures were designed by Marshall Method as per Asphalt institute (MS-II) at 20% and 30% Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP).
RAP material was blended with virgin aggregate such that all specimens tested for the, Dense Bituminous Macadam-II (DBM-II)
gradation as per Ministry of Roads, Transport, and Highways (MoRT&H) and cost analysis were carried out to know the economics.
Laboratory results and analysis showed the use of recycled materials showed significant variability in Marshall Stability, and the
variability increased with the increase in RAP content. The saving can be realized from utilization of recycled materials as per the
methodology, the reduction in the total cost is 19%, 30%, comparing with the virgin mixes.

Laboratory investigation of expansive soil stabilized with natural inorganic ...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Soil stabilization has proven to be one of the oldest techniques to improve the soil properties. Literature review conducted revealed
that uses of natural inorganic stabilizers are found to be one of the best options for soil stabilization. In this regard an attempt has
been made to evaluate the influence of RBI-81 stabilizer on properties of black cotton soil through laboratory investigations. Black
cotton soil with varying percentages of RBI-81 viz., 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 percent were studied for moisture density relationships
and strength behaviour of soils. Also the effect of curing period was evaluated as literature review clearly emphasized the strength
gain of soils stabilized with RBI-81 over a period of time. The results obtained shows that the unconfined compressive strength of
specimens treated with RBI-81 increased approximately by 250% for a curing period of 28 days as compared to virgin soil. Further
the CBR value improved approximately by 400%. The studies indicated an increasing trend for soil strength behaviour with
increasing percentage of RBI-81 suggesting its potential applications in soil stabilization.
Influence of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block masonry p...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Reinforced masonry was developed to exploit the strength potential of masonry and to solve its lack of tensile strength. Experimental
and analytical studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block
masonry prisms under compression and to predict ultimate failure compressive strength. In the numerical program, three dimensional
non-linear finite elements (FE) model based on the micro-modeling approach is developed for both unreinforced and reinforced
masonry prisms using ANSYS (14.5). The proposed FE model uses multi-linear stress-strain relationships to model the non-linear
behavior of hollow concrete block, mortar, and grout. Willam-Warnke’s five parameter failure theory has been adopted to model the
failure of masonry materials. The comparison of the numerical and experimental results indicates that the FE models can successfully
capture the highly nonlinear behavior of the physical specimens and accurately predict their strength and failure mechanisms.

Influence of compaction energy on soil stabilized with chemical stabilizereSAT Journals
Abstract
Increase in traffic along with heavier magnitude of wheel loads cause rapid deterioration in pavements. There is a need to improve
density, strength of soil subgrade and other pavement layers. In this study an attempt is made to improve the properties of locally
available loamy soil using twin approaches viz., i) increasing the compaction of soil and ii) treating the soil with chemical stabilizer.
Laboratory studies are carried out on both untreated and treated soil samples compacted by different compaction efforts. Studies
show that increase in compaction effort results in increase in density of soil. However in soil treated with chemical stabilizer, rate of
increase in density is not significant. The soil treated with chemical stabilizer exhibits improvement in both strength and performance
properties.

Abstract
Water resources projects are inherited with overlapping and at times conflicting objectives. These projects are often of varied sizes
ranging from major projects with command areas of millions of hectares to very small projects implemented at the local level. Thus,
in all these projects there is seldom proper coordination which is essential for ensuring collective sustainability.
Integrated watershed development and management is the accepted answer but in turn requires a comprehensive framework that can
enable planning process involving all the stakeholders at different levels and scales is compulsory. Such a unified hydrological
framework is essential to evaluate the cause and effect of all the proposed actions within the drainage basins.
The present paper describes a hydrological framework developed in the form of a Hydrologic Information System (HIS) which is
intended to meet the specific information needs of the various line departments of a typical State connected with water related aspects.
The HIS consist of a hydrologic information database coupled with tools for collating primary and secondary data and tools for
analyzing and visualizing the data and information. The HIS also incorporates hydrological model base for indirect assessment of
various entities of water balance in space and time. The framework would be maintained and updated to reflect fully the most
accurate ground truth data and the infrastructure requirements for planning and management.

Abstract
Composite Circular hollow Steel tubes with and without GFRP infill for three different grades of Light weight concrete are tested for
ultimate load capacity and axial shortening , under Cyclic loading. Steel tubes are compared for different lengths, cross sections and
thickness. Specimens were tested separately after adopting Taguchi’s L9 (Latin Squares) Orthogonal array in order to save the initial
experimental cost on number of specimens and experimental duration. Analysis was carried out using ANN (Artificial Neural
Network) technique with the assistance of Mini Tab- a statistical soft tool. Comparison for predicted, experimental & ANN output is
obtained from linear regression plots. From this research study, it can be concluded that *Cross sectional area of steel tube has most
significant effect on ultimate load carrying capacity, *as length of steel tube increased- load carrying capacity decreased & *ANN
modeling predicted acceptable results. Thus ANN tool can be utilized for predicting ultimate load carrying capacity for composite
columns.

Evaluation of punching shear in flat slabseSAT Journals
Abstract
Flat-slab construction has been widely used in construction today because of many advantages that it offers. The basic philosophy in
the design of flat slab is to consider only gravity forces; this method ignores the effect of punching shear due to unbalanced moments
at the slab column junction which is critical. An attempt has been made to generate generalized design sheets which accounts both
punching shear due to gravity loads and unbalanced moments for cases (a) interior column; (b) edge column (bending perpendicular
to shorter edge); (c) edge column (bending parallel to shorter edge); (d) corner column. These design sheets are prepared as per
codal provisions of IS 456-2000. These design sheets will be helpful in calculating the shear reinforcement to be provided at the
critical section which is ignored in many design offices. Apart from its usefulness in evaluating punching shear and the necessary
shear reinforcement, the design sheets developed will enable the designer to fix the depth of flat slab during the initial phase of the
design.

Estimation of surface runoff in nallur amanikere watershed using scs cn methodeSAT Journals
Abstract
The development of watershed aims at productive utilization of all the available natural resources in the entire area extending from
ridge line to stream outlet. The per capita availability of land for cultivation has been decreasing over the years. Therefore, water and
the related land resources must be developed, utilized and managed in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Remote sensing and
GIS techniques are being increasingly used for planning, management and development of natural resources. The study area, Nallur
Amanikere watershed geographically lies between 110 38’ and 110 52’ N latitude and 760 30’ and 760 50’ E longitude with an area of
415.68 Sq. km. The thematic layers such as land use/land cover and soil maps were derived from remotely sensed data and overlayed
through ArcGIS software to assign the curve number on polygon wise. The daily rainfall data of six rain gauge stations in and around
the watershed (2001-2011) was used to estimate the daily runoff from the watershed using Soil Conservation Service - Curve Number
(SCS-CN) method. The runoff estimated from the SCS-CN model was then used to know the variation of runoff potential with different
land use/land cover and with different soil conditions.

Effect of variation of plastic hinge length on the results of non linear anal...eSAT Journals
Abstract The nonlinear Static procedure also well known as pushover analysis is method where in monotonically increasing loads are applied to the structure till the structure is unable to resist any further load. It is a popular tool for seismic performance evaluation of existing and new structures. In literature lot of research has been carried out on conventional pushover analysis and after knowing deficiency efforts have been made to improve it. But actual test results to verify the analytically obtained pushover results are rarely available. It has been found that some amount of variation is always expected to exist in seismic demand prediction of pushover analysis. Initial study is carried out by considering user defined hinge properties and default hinge length. Attempt is being made to assess the variation of pushover analysis results by considering user defined hinge properties and various hinge length formulations available in literature and results compared with experimentally obtained results based on test carried out on a G+2 storied RCC framed structure. For the present study two geometric models viz bare frame and rigid frame model is considered and it is found that the results of pushover analysis are very sensitive to geometric model and hinge length adopted.

Abstract
Depletion of natural resources and aggregate quarries for the road construction is a serious problem to procure materials. Hence
recycling or reuse of material is beneficial. On emphasizing development in sustainable construction in the present era, recycling of
asphalt pavements is one of the effective and proven rehabilitation processes. For the laboratory investigations reclaimed asphalt
pavement (RAP) from NH-4 and crumb rubber modified binder (CRMB-55) was used. Foundry waste was used as a replacement to
conventional filler. Laboratory tests were conducted on asphalt concrete mixes with 30, 40, 50, and 60 percent replacement with RAP.
These test results were compared with conventional mixes and asphalt concrete mixes with complete binder extracted RAP
aggregates. Mix design was carried out by Marshall Method. The Marshall Tests indicated highest stability values for asphalt
concrete (AC) mixes with 60% RAP. The optimum binder content (OBC) decreased with increased in RAP in AC mixes. The Indirect
Tensile Strength (ITS) for AC mixes with RAP also was found to be higher when compared to conventional AC mixes at 300C.

Abstract
The effect of a skew angle on single-span reinforced concrete bridges is analyzed using the finite-element method and the results are
presented in this paper. Investigations are carried out on RC slab bridge decks with and without edge beams to study the influence of
aspect ratio, skew angle and type of load. The finite-element analysis results for skewed bridges are compared to the reference
straight bridges for dead load, IRC Class A loading and IRC 70R loading for with and without edge beam. A total of 90 bridge models
are analyzed. The variation of maximum deflection, maximum longitudinal sagging bending moment, maximum torsional moment, and
maximum support reaction with skew angle is studied for all 90 bridge deck models. The FEA results of Dead load and Live load
bending moments and deflections decreases with increase in skew angle, where as maximum support reactions increases with increase
in skew angle and the maximum torsional moment increases with skew angle up to 45 degrees and there after decreases. The benefit
of providing edge beam is reflected in significant decrease in deflection, longitudinal bending moment and torsional moment.

1. INTRODUCTION
Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns possess
excellent earthquake-resistant properties such as high strength,
high ductility, and large energy absorption capacity. In recent
years, the possibility of using thin-walled HSS columns filled
with self-consolidating concrete (SCC), or self-compacting
concrete, in practical engineering has been of interest to
structural engineers. Self-consolidating concrete, as it is
sometimes known, arrived as a revolution in the field of
concrete technology The self-compactability of concrete refers
to the capability of the concrete to flow under its own weight
and fill in the formwork in cast processing. Due to its
rheological properties, the disadvantage of vibration can be
eliminated while still obtaining good consolidation. Apart
from reliability and constructability, advantages such as
elimination of noise in processing plants, and the reduction of
construction time and labor cost have been cited as arising
from the self-consolidation function of SCC. The literature
review points out that the reputed investigation of thin walled
structural steel sections with SCC fill are less numerous. fibre
reinforced concrete (FRC) is used as an in-fill material, as it
has greater flexural strength and tensile strength than plain
concrete. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects
of FRC on the strength and behaviour of composite columns.
However it is to be noted that the addition of fibres in the
concrete will enhance the load carrying capacity because the
infill material has greater flexural strength and tensile strength
than plain SCC. Therefore the lack of information on the
behaviour of HSS Columns with SCC & Fibres as infill
necessities the need for research in this area The relationship
between workability and strength and co-relation between
compressive and tensile strength of self compacting concrete
have been established in the earlier studies.(1,2).
The present study is an attempt to study the possibility of
using high strength self-compacting concrete and steel fibres
in thin walled HSS columns. The objectives of present study
are: -
1. To develop High Strength self-compacting concrete by
adopting Nan-su method, this is regarded as the simplest
method of mix design.
2. To study the acceptance characteristics of SCC by
measuring filling ability, passing ability and segregation
resistance by using different test methods like Slump flow, U-
box, L-box, Orimet and V-funnel test.
3. To compare strength parameters (compressive strength,
Tensile strength and Flexural Strength) of normal Self-
compacting concrete and fibre reinforced self-compacting
concrete.
4. Analytical method formulated (7) is used to predict the
failure load is examined with the experimental value observed
.The formula for calculating the theoretical value is P the= C Ac
fc +As fy, where C=1.18 (7)
Ac=Area of Concrete, fc=compressive strength of concrete,
As=Area of steel, fy=Yield stress of steel.
The final objective was to evaluate the possibility of using
High strength self-compacting concrete with fibres
(HSSCFRC) in thin-walled HSS columns in practice.

percentage equal to 0.5% to 2.0% by volume of concrete
corresponding to 76 kg/m3 the steel fibres used was crimped
which was made from low carbon drawn flat wires. These are
commercially marketed as SW 30 crimped steel fibres.length
Lf = 30 mm and diameter Df = 0.5 mm (aspect ratio Lf /Df =
60). These fibres were distributed randomly in the concrete
during the mixing stage. The compressive strength of concrete
mixes satisfying the workability criteria were determined. The
final optimum process involved five fresh property tests like
slump flow, U-box test, L-box test, J-Ring test and Orimet test
were conducted to check the fresh properties of the fresh
concrete (Table 3) and mix design for M-70 without and with
fibres are tabulated are summarized in table no 4 The scope of
the present study is limited to following: -
1. To study the behavior of CFT by using SCFRC wrt D/t and
L/D ratio.
2. The materials used in this study are aggregates of 10mm
downsize, sand confirming to zone II as fine aggregate, Class
F-type fly ash from Raichur power plant, 53 grade Ordinary
Portland Cement (Birla Super), super plasticizer (Glenium
6100).
3. The measurement of fresh properties of SCC for
experimentations is limited to filling ability (slump flow, T50
slump flow, Orimet and V funnel) and passing ability (L-box
and U-box) and segregation resistance (V funnel at T5
minutes).
In order to characterize the mechanical behaviour of concrete,
three cubes, three prismatic and three cylindrical specimens
were prepared from each type and tested. The comparative
studies have been made on the Compressive strength, Tensile
strength, Flexural strength, Young’s modulus of Elasticity,
Poisson’s ratio and Density of concrete and have been
determined after 7, 28, and 56 days curing.
In these concretes a vibrator was not employed for compaction
A total of 45 cubes, 45 prisms, 45 cylinders (as presented in
Table 5) were prepared by adding different percentage of steel
fibre and admixtures and tested after 7,28 & 56 days of curing
on a compression testing machine of 2000 kN capacity.
3. CFT DETAILS
The curing of the CFT specimens was done by sealing the top
surface with a polyethylene sheet, after wetting the top surface
in order to avoid shrinkage of the concrete.
In order to study the behaviour of the composite CFT column,
the following methodology is followed
1) 45 CFT Specimens of circular shape for M70 grades of
concrete will be tested.
2) CFT will be casted using 0%, 1% .1.5% 2.0% fibre content
for D/t ratios.
3) Available properties such as outer nominal dia., Actual
dimensions, Actual wall thickness, D/t, L/D ratio are
measured. (Table 1)
4) Four strain gauges will be attached to the external surface
of the steel tube at two opposing sides at each column mid
height. Two strain gauges at each side measure the horizontal
and longitudinal strains in the steel respectively. Dial gauges
will be used to measure the lateral deflections of the column at
mid height.
5) At each load increment, the strain readings and the
deflection measurements were recorded .All specimens were
loaded to failure
4. TEST RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
The typical structural behaviour of the tested columns was
studied by the relationship between the load P and the lateral
deflection at mid-height. The study shows quite clearly that
deflection was small during the initial part of the loading and
increased rapidly near the ultimate load Furthermore, the study
also shows that columns filled with plain concrete exhibit
greater mid-height displacement than columns filled with FRC
at any given level of load. It is seen, therefore, that the FRC
filled specimen’s exhibit lower flexibility compared with plain
concrete filled specimens throughout the entire load–
deflection range. The reason may be attributed to the fact that
FRC has higher flexural strength than plain concrete. The
curve also implies that FRC filled specimens have relatively
less strain gradient, as seen from the higher slope of the
ascending branch, than plain concrete filled specimens until
failure occurred. This was most likely influenced by the higher
elastic modulus of FRC.
CONCLUSIONS
This paper presents an experimental study on circular
concentrically loaded concrete filled steel tube columns,
Parameters for the study included the diameter, D/t ratio of
steel tube, L/D ratio of steel tube and addition of % of steel
fibre. The influence of these parameters on the confinement of
the concrete core, the compression shared by the steel tube and
ultimately load carrying capacity of the CFTs was
investigated.

Following are the conclusions drawn from this investigation:
1. FRC filled steel tubular columns has relatively high
stiffness compared with plain concrete filled columns.
2. The ductility is found to be almost equal for both plain and
FRC filled steel tubular columns.
3. The use of FRC in the steel tube results in an enhanced
energy absorption capacity of the composite columns.
4. The use of FRC as a filling material increases the load
bearing capacity to a much greater extent compared with that
of unfilled columns and reduces the lateral displacements.
From the bare tube results it was observed that the load
carrying capacity of the steel tube per unit volume decreases
as the D/t ratio increases. Hence it is suggested to fix the
correct D/t ratio in order to make optimum usage of the
material.
5. Results were found to be increasing till 1.5% of steel fibres
added to Self-compacting concrete and .the relationship of
compressive strength to tensile strength of hardened concrete
was found to be fc=10.35ft
