Stainless　steel　has　many　desirable　properties　which　can　be　taken　advantage　of　in　structural　applications.　A　total　of　12　test　results　of　circular　concrete-filled　stainless　steel　tubular　columns　under　axial　compression　were　presented　in　this　paper.　Several　existing　design　codes,　including　the　Australian　design　code　AS　5100,　American　code　AISC,　Chinese　code　DBJ　13-51-2003　and　Eurocode　4,　are　used　to　predict　the　column　strength　and　to　compare　with　the　test　results.　It　seems　that　all　these　codes　underestimate　the　column　strength　ranged　from　10%　to　24%　on　average.　Compared　with　conventional　composite　columns　comprised　of　carbon　steel,　the　predictions　are　a　little　more　conservative.
