ABSTRACT The idea of this particular study is to utilize industrial waste materials in an effective manner so as to give strength to steel tubular columns. Composite construction using steel - concrete has emerged as one of the fastest methods of construction in India. The inherent advantage of the steel-concrete composite section lies in that the two principal elements - the steel and the concrete are normally used in a manner so that full potential of both may be realized and the best utilization of their respective properties can be made. In this paper, an attempt was made with steel tubular columns in-filled with plain concrete, partial replacement of fine aggregate by fly ash & quarry dust and coarse aggregate by rubber, slag from the steel industry, granite and construction & demolition (C&D) debris concrete. The column specimens are to be tested under axial compression to investigate the effects of industrial waste materials. The effects of the steel tube and the strength of concrete are examined. 24 specimens were tested with the strength of concrete as 20 MPa and D/t ratio 25.40. The columns were 114.3 mm in diameter and 4.5 mm in thickness are 300, 600 & 900 mm in length. Strength characteristics and failure modes are to be discussed. The test results are to be compared with the values predicted by Eurocode 4, Australian Standards and American Codes and new theoretical models will be suggested for the design. From the test results, it was observed that the load-carrying capacity of steel tubular columns in-filled with various industrial waste materials concrete is greater than the conventional concrete. Hence this research would give a solution for effective utilization of industrial waste materials such as rubber, granite, C&D debris, steel slag, fly ash and quarry dust in concrete.
