a comparison between design codes i.e. ACI and AISC-LRFD in evaluation of flexural strength of concrete filled steel tubular columns CFTs is examined for this puppose an analytical study on the response of CFTs under axial flexural loading is carried using three dimnsional finite elements with elsto plastic model for concrete with cracking and crushing capability and elsto plastic kinematic hardening model for steel.
