description This paper presents a thorough experimental and numerical investigation into the structural performance and load-carrying capacities of circular concrete-filled stainless steel tube (CFSST) stub columns under axial partial compression. The experimental programme was carried out on 3 fully loaded (reference) circular CFSST stub column specimens and 15 partially loaded circular CFSST stub column specimens, with a series of material and geometric parameters (including the concrete grade, the stainless steel tube size and the area and shape of the partial compression region) varied. Analysis of the obtained test results revealed that the partial compression area ratio, defined as the ratio of the concrete gross area to the partially loaded area, and the confinement factor, given as the steel tube to concrete plastic compression resistance ratio, are the two key factors influencing the structural behaviour and load-carrying capacities of circular CFSST stub columns subjected to partial compression. The testing investigation was supplemented by a systematic finite element (FE) modelling study, where the numerical models were firstly developed and validated against the experimentally derived results and then employed to conduct parametric studies for the purpose of expanding the experimental data pool over a broader range of partial compression area ratios and confinement factors.
