This　paper　is　concerned　with　the　finite　element　(FE)　modelling　of　slender　concrete-filled　stainless　steel　tubular　columns　(CFSST)　under　axial　compression.　This　modelling　is　performed　using　ABAQUS,　a　commercially　available　FE　program.　Generally　good　agreement　is　achieved　between　the　test　and　predicted　results　in　terms　of　load-deformation　curves　and　ultimate　strength.　This　demonstrates　that　the　FE　modelling　presented　in　this　paper　can　be　used　with　confidence　to　carry　out　extensive　parametric　studies　into　the　behaviour　of　slender　CFSST　columns.　©　(2010)　by　COPPE　-　Federal　University　of　Rio　de　Janeiro　All　rights　reserved.
