Experimental compression tests on steel tubular columns filled with plain concrete and fiber reinforced concrete are carried out. For each type of column three different lengths are considered in order to point out the influence of slenderness on the ductility in compression. The experimental investigations presented here have emphasized the improvement in ductility capacity obtained when fiber reinforced concrete is utilised instead of plain concrete. Moreover, the results obtained stress that the lateral displacements due to global instability are drastically reduced.
