The　eccentric　compression　performance　of　concrete　filled　circular　steel　tubular　(CFCST)　columns　using　high-strength　recycled　aggregate　concrete　(RAC)　instead　of　normal　concrete　(NC)　was　studied　through　repeat　load　tests　on　four　specimens　in　this　paper.　Four　specimens　were　divided　into　two　groups;　the　first　set　of　two　specimens　included　a　CFCST　column　filled　with　RAC　and　a　normal　CFCST　column,　the　eccentricity　was　100　mm.　The　second　group　had　the　same　specimens　and　the　difference　was　that　the　eccentricity　was　160　mm.　Load-deformation　and　stress-strain　curves　as　well　as　the　strain　distribution　over　the　cross　section　were　obtained　through　the　experiment.　The　failure　characteristic,　load-bearing　capacity,　stiffness,　ductility,　energy　dissipation　and　residual　deformation　of　the　specimens　were　analyzed.　The　obtained　results　are　compared　with　the　ultimate　strengths　of　CFCST　columns　predicted　by　existing　design　codes.　The　test　results　indicate　that　damage　development　and　failure　mode　of　CFCST　columns　with　RAC　are　similar　to　those　of　normal　CFCST　columns.　The　replacement　of　NC　with　RAC　has　beneficial　effects　on　the　load-carrying　capacity　and　deformation　properties.　The　strain　distribution　was　found　to　accord　well　with　the　plane　section　assumption.　With　the　incensement　of　eccentricity,　the　load-carrying　capacity　decreased,　the　stiffness　degradation　intensified,　and　the　deformation　ability　improved.　©　2015,　Editorial　Board　of　Journal　of　Harbin　Institute　of　Technology.　All　right　reserved.
