Steel-Concrete Composite Column Database


This page describes a database of experimental tests on circular and rectangular concrete-filled steel tube and steel-reinforced concrete beams, columns, and beam-columns. The database is primarily intended to be used in the validation of analytical models and design procedures. The database was created and is maintained by Mark Denavit's research group at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville with significant contributions by Zheng Zhou and Morgan Jenkins. The database and associated MATLAB files are available for download at github (browse - download zip). Please contact Mark Denavit with any comments, corrections, additions, suggestions, or if you are interested in the original reports.

Scope

The data is separated based on cross section type:

and member type:

To be included in the database, each specimen must 1) have obtained member strength in a physical experiment; 2) be described in a published work (preferably a peer-reviewed journal publication); and 3) be capable of being accurately described by the fields in this database. The following were excluded:

The current count of specimens in the database is:
