In order to deepen the understanding of concrete-filled steel tube towers and promote the application of steel tube concrete structures in
cable-bearing bridge towers The main problem of this paper is to optimize the structure of the existing CFST bridge tower from the
perspective of simple structure and high construction efficiency, then review the research progress on the local buckling performance of
the steel wall plate of the CFST bridge tower and the mechanical properties of the tower column, and give recommendations Finally, by
comparing with traditional reinforced concrete bridge towers and steel bridge towers, the technical characteristics and economical results
of steel pipe concrete bridge towers are analyzed. The study of local buckling theory is relatively unclear about the force transmission
