The　effects　of　slenderness　ratio,　eccentricity　and　column　slope　on　the　load-carrying　capacities　and　failure　modes　of　variable　and　uniform　concrete　filled　steel　tubular　(CFST)　latticed　columns　under　axial　and　eccentric　compression　were　investigated　and　compared　in　this　study.　The　results　clearly　show　that　all　the　CFST　latticed　columns　with　variable　cross　section　exhibit　an　overall　failure,　which　is　similar　to　that　of　CFST　latticed　columns　with　a　uniform　cross　section.　The　load-carrying　capacity　decreases　with　the　increase　of　the　slenderness　ratio　or　the　eccentricity.　For　2-m　specimens　with　a　slenderness　ratio　of　9,　the　ultimate　load-carrying　capacity　is　increased　by　3%　and　5%　for　variable　CFST　latticed　columns　with　a　slope　of　1:40　and　1:20　as　compared　with　that　of　uniform　CFST　latticed　columns,　respectively.　For　the　eccentrically　compressed　variable　CFST　latticed　columns,　the　strain　of　the　columns　at　the　loading　side,　as　well　as　the　difference　in　the　strain,　increases　from　the　bottom　to　the　cap,　and　a　more　significant　increase　in　strain　is　observed　in　the　cross　section　closer　to　the　column　cap.　Copyright　©　2016　Techno-Press,　Ltd.
