    An Overview of CFST in Bridges

    This paper discusses the use of concrete-filled steel tubes (CFST) in bridge construction. CFST provides benefits for bridge trusses, arches, girders, and pier substructures by offering confinement of concrete by the surrounding steel tube, which improves seismic resistance, while the concrete prevents local buckling of the steel tube. CFST has become popular for bridges due to its excellent seismic resistance properties, including high strength, ductility, and energy absorption capacity. The paper analyzes statistical data on spans and structural types of bridge elements that have used CFST and presents case studies of typical bridges.

    ABSTRACT
    In this paper, the use of concrete-filled steel tubes (CFST) in various structural elements of bridges
    emphasized. This study aimed at investigating the benefits of CFST members in Trusses, Arch bridges,
    girder bridges and Pier substructures. In CFST, the surrounding steel tube provides effective
    confinement to the filled-in concrete and in turn, the concrete helps to reduce the potential local
    buckling of the steel tube resulting improved seismic resistant performance. CFST become popular
    because of their excellent seismic resistance structural properties such as high strength, high
    ductility and large energy absorption capacity. General information of span, structural types and some
    key features in structural elements analysed based on the statistical data from various studies. Few typical
    bridges presented as case studies. It will provide ample references of CFST usage in bridges for all the
    stakeholders in bridge construction. At last, the use of CFST in India is prospected.
