Circular　concrete-filled　double　steel　tubular　(CFDST)　column　is　a　high-performance　composite　column　that　has　significant　potential　to　be　used　in　the　construction　of　high-rise　composite　structures.　This　paper　presents　experimental　and　strength　computational　investigations　on　CFDST　short　columns　that　are　subjected　to　eccentric　compression　load.　A　total　of　sixteen　CFDST　stub　columns,　two　concrete-filled　steel　tubular　(CFST)　columns,　and　two　double-skin　concrete-filled　steel　tubular　(DCFST)　columns　were　tested　to　investigate　their　structural　performance.　The　test　behavior　of　the　CFDST　column　loaded　eccentrically　is　discussed　and　compared　against　its　CFST　and　DCFST　counterparts.　The　test　results　show　that　the　CFDST　column　has　improved　strength　and　ductility　under　eccentric　loading　when　compared　with　other　composite　columns.　The　strengths　of　the　CFDST　stub　columns　in　this　study　together　with　the　test　strengths　from　the　literature　were　used　to　assess　the　strength　predictions　by　Eurocode　4　and　AISC　360-16.　It　was　found　that　the　current　predictions　generally　underestimate　or　overestimate　the　strengths.　A　new　reduction　factor　for　predicting　the　ultimate　strengths　of　CFDST　short　columns　under　eccentric　compression　is　proposed　based　on　the　test　results.　By　adopting　the　newly　proposed　reduction　factor　and　design　method,　the　design　predictions　are　found　to　be　improved　that　provide　reasonable　estimations　for　circular　CFDST　columns　loaded　eccentrically.
