Abstract
Apart from strength and ductility, adequate bond between steel and concrete at the interface is important in concrete filled steel tube (CFST) columns to ensure a composite action. One way of improving the bond strength of a CFST column is introducing internal stiffeners. This paper presents an experimental investigation into the bond strength of a CFST column with tab stiffeners by conducting a push out test. Twenty-one square specimens of sides 200 mm × 200 mm, fabricated from 2 mm thick mild steel sheeting were tested in two series. The first series considered the variation in the tab spacing along the stiffeners, namely 75, 100, 150, and 300 mm, while in the second series, the concrete cube compressive strengths were 36, 40, and 50 MPa. The bond strength at the concrete–steel interface was found to increase with decreasing tab spacing. In-filling the tubes with higher strength concrete had also resulted in an increase in the bond strength by up to an average of 40%.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
