1-1 CFT(Concrete filled Steel Tube)

Area Terminal Construction and Installations
Theme Advanced and high quality of maintenance
CFT(Concrete filled Steel Tube)
Product Summary
  • A Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFT) is a simple structural member that does not require assembling of reinforcements or a mold. This is because concrete is poured into a round-or square-shape steel pipe and a column is created. It is superior in view of strength, rigidity, and deformability.
Features
  • This product is superior in fireproof and anti-earthquake performance. 
  • A smaller column cross section area allows more extensive utilization of space is otherwise possible. 
  • It is possible to shorten the construction period because a mold is not necessary. 
Applications
  • Large-space buildings, such as spaces inside passenger terminal building
Past Installations
  • Japan:〇 Building, Hotel and Hospital(s)
  • Overseas:〇 airport(s)
