The estimation formulae of the local plastic and ultimate strengths of the connection between steel beam flange and concrete filled circular tube column are proposed based on the yield line theory. The out-of-plane moment and punching shear yield lines are assumed in steel tube, and the in-plane yield lines in through diaphragm are assumed. The cruciform model tests were carried out to investigate the structural behaviours with experimental variables of connection type, loading type, diameter-to-thickness ratio of steel tube and tube diameter-to-beam width ratio. The estimated local plastic and ultimate strengths agree with experimental results regardless of the experimental variables.
