As the ridges become larger and larger, a structural type that enables effective utilization of the long span and space is required. In the construction stage, the steel column supports the installation load. However, in order to secure the stability against the out - of - plane deformation of the steel column due to the lateral pressure when the concrete is laid, a binding frame is installed inside the steel pipe at constant intervals to resist the concrete installation pressure. When the concrete is cured and its performance as a composite section is exerted, a stress is generated which pushes the steel pipe out of the plane by the column compressive force. In this case, since the binding frame controls the deformation, the local buckling is delayed and the constraining effect on the concrete is increased. In order to evaluate the structural performance and behavior of the composite mega column according to the eccentricity effect and the effect of the binding frame, we carried out a structural test by fabricating eight monopole specimens with the binding frame reinforcement, reinforcing gap, reinforced cross section and eccentricity , And the experimental results are compared with the KBC2016 design formula.

The utilization of composite columns is increasing due to the construction of high-rise buildings and large buildings. The commercially available concrete chimney steel column (ACT I) is a stable and economical structure, but there is a limit in the section size to be applied to a composite column subjected to a high load. We have developed a composite mega column with an integral structure by adding a plate to the central part of the ACT I column and installing a binding frame at a certain interval inside the central plate. In this study, to evaluate the compressive performance of the composite mega column, four test specimens were constructed with binding frame reinforcement, reinforcement spacing, and reinforced cross - sectional area. The structural performance of the composite section is compared with that of KBC2016 to evaluate the behavior of the specimen.

In this study, circular sectional concrete-filled tube(CFT) column-to-foundation connections were numerically investigated in order to improve their structural details. A inner reinforced specimen with high-tension bolts and inner deformed bars was adopted from a previous experimental study to make the numerical model. The validity of the numerical method was verified through comparing the experimental results with the analysis’s ones. In order to optimize design variables about the inner reinforced model, a number of numerical analyses were conducted for various variables. Finally, this study suggested the optimum variables about the reinforced circular sectional CFT column-to-foundation connections.
