Concrete-filled　thin-walled　steel　tubular　columns　have　gained　popularity　in　these　days.　However,　local　buckling　is　more　likely　to　occur　for　this　kind　of　columns.　Some　researchers　have　proposed　that　longitudinal　stiffeners　can　be　used　to　postpone　local　bucking　of　such　kind　of　tubes.　This　is　once　again　proved　by　new　test　results　pertaining　to　stiffened　concrete-filled　thin-walled　hollow　structural　stub　columns,　which　were　carried　out　recently　in　Fuzhou　University.　In　this　paper,　existing　design　codes　were　used　to　predict　load-carrying　capacities　of　adequately　stiffened　composite　stub　columns.　Reasonable　results　were　achieved　compared　with　test　results.
