The experimental work was restricted to seamless steel tubes and the tests were divided into three series: Series A. Axial compressive loading. Series B. Axial compressive and beam loading combined. Series C. Axial compressive loading of concentric tubes. It was concluded that the axial steel and mortar stresses in the elastic range are determinable by a uniaxial analysis. No satisfactory conclusions were obtained for the inelastic behavior.129 ppengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
