Abstract :

– An analytical investigation has been carried out using ANSYS software to understand the behaviour of Concrete Filled Steel Tubular inclined column subjected to vertical load. The study is limited to understand the behaviour of inclined CFST columns fixed at bottom and hinged at top for 0^o, 5^o, 10^o and 15^o inclination only with same geometric and material properties. A ief review of literature and codal provisions have been presented and the ANSYS results have been compared with different codal provisions, in particular, EC4, ACI–318 and AISC–LRFD. It has been observed that the inclined columns withstands less vertical load and is 18%, 26% and 30% for the columns with 5^o, 10^o and 15^o respectively as compared to an upright column.
