Concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) structures are widely used in practical engineering. CFST usually forms composite structures with steel or reinforced concrete in high-rise and super-high-rise buildings. China is a country with frequent earthquakes. The author summarizes the seismic response of concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) structures by studying and analyzing the relevant research literature at home and abroad, and prospects the problems that need further study combined with the current research situation.
