1. Introduction
The special-shaped column structure is widely used because of its superiority in building function.
With the development of economy, the improvement of people's living standards has broad
development prospects. However, reinforced concrete special-shaped columns have exposed some
problems in research, extension and practical engineering applications: they are very sensitive to the
directionality of horizontal loads, the direction of load is different, and the bearing capacity of
components and systems is quite different. Unfavorable direction of load action; in order to ensure
the ductility requirements of the column, more configuration of stirrups is required and the axial
compression ratio is strictly limited; the cast-in-place of the special-shaped columns is complicated,
the reinforcement of the beam-column joints is more, the concrete pouring quality is difficult to
guarantee; The shear capacity is sometimes difficult to meet the requirements, and its application in
high-rise buildings and high-intensity seismic zones is limited, which has great limitations [1].
Therefore, in order to make the special-shaped column structure more widely used, it is promoted in
buildings with more layers and areas with higher seismic intensity. It is necessary to study how to
improve the bearing capacity and stiffness of the column without significantly increasing the column
section. Seismic performance [2]. Due to the superior seismic performance of the concrete-filled steel
tubular columns, the concrete-filled steel tubular columns have emerged. Based on the preliminary
research work of concrete-concrete columns and concrete columns at home and abroad, this paper
introduces the mechanical properties, seismic performance and engineering application status of
concrete-filled steel tubular columns. The future research directions and development trends of
concrete-filled steel tubular columns are summarized.
2. Research Status and Analysis of Concrete Filled Steel Tubular Columns
In China, circular, square and rectangular steel tube concrete regulations have been introduced, but
there are few studies on concrete-filled steel tubular columns. Mainly limited to Harbin Institute of
Technology, Tongji University, South China University of Technology, Xi'an University of
Architecture and Technology, Tianjin University and other colleges and universities experts on the

axial compression performance, bias performance, seismic performance, ductility, hysteresis
performance of special-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular columns The experimental research and
theoretical analysis of the mechanical properties of the nodes and the theoretical analysis have already
yielded certain research results, but the current research results are not systematic and mature. The
South China University of Technology conducted an experimental study on the axial compression
performance of T-shaped and L-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular columns with restrained tie rods.
The finite element analysis of the force-bearing process of the members was carried out, and the force
mechanism of the concrete-shaped columns with restrained steel-tubes was analyzed. Calculation
method of axial compressive bearing capacity and eccentric compression bearing capacity of
constrained beam with special-shaped columns [3-5]. The following conclusions are more meaningful:
the concrete-filled steel tubular columns without restraint rods, although the steel tube has a
restraining effect on the core concrete, but it is not very obvious. When the load capacity limit state
is reached, the steel tube has undergone external drumming, the steel pipe The strength of the
specimen is destroyed before the strength is fully exerted, so the strength of the column is not
significantly improved; the restraining tie rod has obvious restraining effect on the steel pipe, delaying
the local buckling of the steel pipe, improving the stress state of the internal concrete, and improving
the concrete. The bearing capacity and ductility are also greatly improved, and the tighter the
arrangement of the restraining tie rods, the more advantageous the beneficial effect on the concrete-
filled columns of concrete-filled steel tubes. The concrete-filled steel tubular columns have uneven
force, so the stiffness is smaller than that of ordinary square and rectangular sections. In addition,
Shen Zuyan of Tongji University, Lu Xilin of Tongji University, Wang Dan and Yang Yuanlong of
Harbin Institute of Technology respectively studied the axial bearing capacity of concrete-filled steel
tubular columns and the seismic behavior of components and joints. Their research on concrete-filled
columns of concrete-filled concrete columns provides valuable information for us to further
understand and study the concrete-filled columns of concrete-filled steel tubes.
3. Application status of concrete-filled steel tubular columns
Regarding the application of concrete-filled steel tubular columns in China, it is necessary to mention
a method of high-rise building construction-reverse method, which is a relatively advanced
construction technology in the construction of high-rise buildings, which can significantly shorten
the construction period. The construction process is as follows: firstly excavate the foundation pit, set
up the supporting structure based on the underground building axis or other supporting wall body,
then piling and pouring the pressure bearing column, after completing the construction of the ground
floor surface, the ground one Construction of the floor surface as a support for the ground and above
the ground. In the underground construction, the earthwork is excavated downward from both sides
of the floor surface, and the concrete is poured layer by layer until the back cover. At the same time,
the above-ground part is also laid up layer by layer until the end of the project. It is precisely because
of this underground construction in the opposite direction, so the construction period is greatly
shortened, which is conducive to improving the comprehensive economic benefits of the project [6].
In 1998, the Guangzhou New China Building adopted the concrete-filled steel tubular columns for
the first time. The basement of the project covers an area of 7,340 ㎡, with 5 floors underground and
51 floors above ground. In order to achieve all-round reverse construction, the core tube shear wall
of the basement is not constructed first, and the constrained tie rods (rectangular, L-shaped and T-
shaped) arranged at the intersection of the core tube shear wall and the corner are used in the design.
The concrete-filled steel tubular column is used as a temporary support, and the base wall is filled
with the missing wall section to become a complete cylinder. Due to the horizontal restraint tie rod,
the ductility and bearing capacity of the concrete-filled steel tubular columns are significantly
improved, the problem of large lateral deformation of the steel pipe wall is solved, and the use area
of the building is increased; the concrete-shaped columns and beams of the steel tubular concrete with
constrained tie rods are Node connections have been improved to make it simpler to construct, more
force-sensitive, easier to construct, and relatively cheaper to build [7-10]. In addition, the concrete-

filled steel tubular columns have been successfully applied in the construction of high-rise buildings
such as Jiangmen Zhonglv Building, Guangzhou Minghui Mall, Guangzhou Department Store
Building and Guangzhou Mingli Building. In the reconstruction project after the 5.12 earthquake in
China, the square steel tube concrete special-shaped column structure was applied as a new structure
in the construction of Yuzixi Village in Yingxiu Town [11].
4. Conclusion and outlook
(1) Compared with traditional reinforced concrete columns, concrete-filled steel tubular columns
have the advantages of high ultimate bearing capacity, good ductility, good seismic performance,
simple construction and good economic benefits. They are suitable for areas with higher seismic
fortification intensity, satisfying bearing capacity and On the basis of the rigidity requirement, and
not significantly increasing the cross-sectional area of the column, the inner wall can be made not
convex, the indoor use area is increased, and the function of the building is well satisfied, which is an
important structural system for modern engineering applications, The application prospects are very
broad.
(2) The research on the special-shaped column of concrete-filled steel tube has just started. The
research methods and test methods are still not very mature. There is no special-shaped column design
specification for forming the system. There are few calculation methods for the bearing capacity of
the special-shaped column, only with the help of experimental data. The analysis gives the calculation
formula of the bearing capacity.
(3) There are few researches on the dynamic performance of concrete-filled steel tubular columns
under dynamic load, which can be used as an important direction for future research. Regarding the
concrete-filled column of CFST, it is not mature enough. The calculation model of the joint is not
clear. There is no complete calculation theory and design method. Therefore, the research work of
the relevant nodes can be closely related to these aspects, and the comprehensive steel pipe of the
system is introduced. Design rules for concrete shaped columns.
