Paper Title
Experimental Investigation Of Composite Steel-Concrete Column

Abstract
Abstract-An experimental study was carried out for the composite cold-formed steel column and composite hot rolled I-section are discussed in this paper. Totally 4 numbers of cold-form channel sections and 4 numbers of hot-rolled I-sections were used. In that, all 4 numbers of cold-formed channel sections and 2 numbers of hot-rolled I-sections were fully composite and 2 numbers of hot-rolled I-sections were partially composite column. M20 grade of concrete has been used. Cold-formed channels of cross section 40X20mm and hot rolled I-section of cross section 125x75mm were used, all the 8 specimens were 600mm in height. In 4 numbers of cold-formed channel sections, 2 sections were without studs and the other 2 sections with 3 studs in the web. In hot-rolled I-section, 2 sections with 2 studs on each side of the web and the other two sections with 3 studs on each side of the web. Details of the investigations and the results were presented. A series of parametric studies were done by varying the number of studs. Keywords- Channel Section, Cold-Formed Steel, Composite Column, Hot-Rolled Steel, I-Section
