A new finite element (FE) model was constructed with ABAQUS, and the applicability of the model was verified by the coincidence with typical damage modes and load-compression curves in the tests, and the axial compression performance of the precast circular semi-continuous concrete-filled steel tube (PCSCFST) columns was investigated. The effects of diameter-thickness ratio, slenderness ratio, yield strength, etc. on the axial compression performance of the PCSCFST columns were investigated by parametric analysis. The changes in slenderness ratio, yield strength and diameter-thickness ratio
