Design and Application of Partially Encased Non-Compact Composite Columns for High-Rise Buildings
A new composite column designed specifically to support large gravity loads in high-rise steel buildings is described. The column takes advantage of the in-plant prefabrication of steel, the economical compressive load carrying capacity of concrete, the speed of erection for a steel structure and the fire resistance inherent in a concrete column. The column is specifically designed to simplify the installation and removal of the form work needed to pour the concrete and requires less crane capacity to erect the column due to a much lighter steel section. The extensive test program carried out at three North American universities is summarised. The scope of application for the new column and the design equations that have been proposed are discussed. Finally, an example of the savings that can be achieved by using this column system is demonstrated by comparing the system to the actual design of an existing building. The new composite column has been patented in Canada, the United States of America and has received an International patent.
