In order to study the influence of the initial stress of the inner and outer steel tubes on theaxial compression performance of the large hollow ratio tapered concrete⁃filled double skin steel tubular(CFDST) members, the numerical model was established by ABAQUS finite element software. On thebasis of model verification, the whole process stress mechanism of the axial compression short column andthe long column was analyzed. The influence of the initial stress of the steel tube on the workingmechanism of CFDST member was studied, and the load⁃deformation curve of the member, the stressdistribution of each component and the development law of the contact stress between differentcomponents were obtained. On this basis, the influence of hollow ratio, initial stress coefficient,slenderness ratio, taper and diameter⁃thickness ratio of outer steel tube on the bearing capacity isanalyzed. The results show that the initial stress of the steel tube has little effect on the axial compressionbearing capacity of the short column, and the maximum decrease is about 5%. However, the bearingcapacity of long columns decreases significantly, and the influence of initial stress leads to the early yieldof steel tubes. The main parameters affecting the influence coefficient of bearing capacity are initial stresscoefficient, slenderness ratio and hollow ratio. The calculation method of bearing capacity of CFDSTcolumn under axial compression is given.
