dik,
would you please state your sources and/or references on this subject?
thanks again.
i had posted a link to a cidect info and nrc info...
made it... i don't have the cidect or nrc link... my browser clears things on exit and when i tried to reset things... info got cleared.
my first exposure to conc filled hss was about 25 years ago.  an addition at the university of winnipeg used conc filled tubes to obtain frr.  there's lots of info available.  my copy of the cidect treatise is at the office.
