Abstract

In this paper, the safety factors in AS 5100 (Standards Australia 2004) for short concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns are calibrated based on the statistical method proposed by Johnson & Huang (1997). This method is applied to an extensive database developed by Tao et al. (2008) which has 929 CFST stub column test results covering a wide range of input parameters.A summary of the calibration procedure and the calibrated safety factors are provided. The reasons for the calibration results are discussed to provide useful insight and supporting information for a possible revision of AS 5100.
