Global warming and environmental destruction have become major issues in the last few decades. Use of more and more economical friendly materials in construction is important. Presently in India, steel slag production is about 12 million tonnes per annum, due to limited modes of practices of utilization, steel slags are dumped in yards of each production and engage large area. To overcome these problems steel slag can be used in construction. This paper deals with the study of axial compressive behaviour of Composite column with partial replacement of fine aggregate by steel slag in concrete-filled steel tubular column with different cross-sections. Partial replacement of fine aggregate in Concrete filled steel tubular column will reduce the damage to the ecological balance due to excessive sand lifting from river beds, affecting the ground level. Tests are carried out on the specimens with varying cross-sections and hollow tubular members under axial compression.
