have been validated using the experimental data of the present study as well as recently published test results. The FE
models predict the experimental load-deformation behavior, ultimate strength and failure modes with good accuracy.
Once the FE model is validated, the numerical results are compared with the existing conventional carbon steel design
code/guidelines and developed a prediction formula for CFSST columns.
