“…Some experimental and numerical studies have been carried out (Han and Yang, 2007; Ke et al, 2018; Lu et al, 2007; Qu et al, 2018) on the eccentric behaviour of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns including the parameters of eccentricity and width to thickness ratio, and the N–M correlation curves and numerical calculation methods have been proposed by linear regression. Some research studies also (Du et al, 2018a, 2018b; Zhang et al, 2018) have been carried out to study the residual bearing capacity behaviours of CFST columns under impact load and seismic behaviour of frame structures composed of CFST columns. Besides, some experiments on the load carrying capacity of high-performance concrete, self-compacting concrete and recycled concrete short CFST columns have also been carried out (Hu et al, 2016; Lee et al, 2016; Lee et al, 2011; Portolés et al, 2011; Qian et al, 2015; Ren et al, 2017; Wang et al, 2015; Xie et al, 2019; Xu and Liu, 2013; Zhang et al, 2004; Zhang et al, 2019).…”
