Abstract
![CDATA[This paper presents the experimental investigation of concrete-filled mild and stainless steel tubular columns under impact loading and pre-compressive conditions. A comprehensive test program has been carried out recently at the University of Western Sydney and University of Wollongong to investigate the performance of pre-compressive mild and stainless steel concrete-filled steel square (CFSS) columns subjected to lateral impact loading. At the same time, concrete material tests using Split Hopkinson's Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus were also conducted at National University of Singapore. These test results are reported in this paper. The main objective of this paper is to compare the performance of stainless steel CFSS column with mild steel CFSS column. Moreover, the behaviour of in-filled tubes under impact loading is also compared with that of hollow sections. Generally, the stainless steel specimens showed in1proved impact behaviour compared with mild steel counterparts, especially when concrete was used to fill the hollow tubes.]]
