L-shaped, T-shaped and cross-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular columns are composed of square steel pipes and concrete, and the mechanical properties of the two materials were synthesized. A total of 9 specimens, including L-shaped, T-shaped and cross-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular columns with different length to slenderness ratios, were tested by axial compression tests, and the effects of the cross-section form and the length of the specimens on the damage morphology of the specimens, load-deflection curves, load-strain curves and load-Poisson’s ratio curves were investigated by comparative studies. The results showed that the short columns suffered from section strength damage and the long columns suffered from bending damage. Within the length range studied in this paper, the specimen length had a greater effect on the bearing capacity of L-section specimens and T-section specimens, and the bearing capacity of cross-section specimens was less affected by this effect. The horizontal deflections of all specimens were almost linearly related to the loads, and developed rapidly after yielding. Shaped columns showed the maximum strain at 1/2 height, and thePoisson’s ratio increased as loading proceeded.
