To study the creep properties of concrete filled steel tube (CFST), the long-term tests of the shrinkage and creep with 8 concrete circular columns specimen for more than 870 d in indoor environment were conducted. Based on the elastic continuation and plastic flow theory for concrete creep, and the creep theory of concrete under multi axial stresses, a prediction model of creep coefficient in CFST was put forward by considering the mechanical characteristics of axially compressed CFST members. The results show that the creep deformation of CFS...
