This paper is presented an experimental studies on bond stress between steel and concrete in concrete filled Rectangular steel tubes. In the actual building frames, vertical dead and live loads on beams are usually transferred to columns by beam-to-column connections. In case when concrete filled steel tubes are used as columns of an actual building frame which has a simple connection, shear forces in the beam ends are not directly transferred to the concrete core but directly to the steel tube. Provided that the bond effect between steel tube and concrete core should not be expected, none of the end shear in the beams would be transferred to the concrete core but only to the steel tube. Therefore, it is important to investigate the bond strength between steel tube and concrete core in the absence of shear connectors.

In this study, axial-stress distribution of enlarged concrete column according to degree of composite is analysed. The analysis showed that axial-stress on existing concrete and new concrete was concentrated to edge in case of lower degree of composite. On the other hand, axial-stress was evenly distributed in case of higher degree of composite.
