The present study analyzes the flexure behavior of the circular CFT member through experiment and numerical analysis. Through comparison between experimental and numerical results, whether or not the member was a full composite have little effect on the behavior. There circular CFT’s flexure behavior when considering pure moment is almost similar regardless of the interface characteristics between the steel and concrete. This is because there is no difference in the neutral axis of the full-composite and non-composite circular CFT member.

The research presents an application of Balanced ANOVA (BANOVA) by utilizing randomized orders for various Split-Plot Designs (SPDs) which include two cell designs, split-plot with one-way HTC (Hard to Control) factor, split-plot with two-way HTC factor, split-split-plot design and nested design. In addition, four MINITAB examples of 2-level split-plot designs based on the number of blocks and the type of whole-plots are presented for practitioners to obtain comprehensive understanding. Furthermore, the geometrical interrelated properties among three typical Designs of Experiments (DOE), such as Factorial Design (FD), Response Surface Design (RSD), and Mixture Design (MD) are discussed in this paper.
