This paper presents a comprehensive review of the available literature on the lateral response of concrete-filled double skin steel tubular (CFDST) bridge columns and discusses different influential design parameters and proposed innovations for modern construction. The database of CFDST columns was collected and discussed from three main perspectives: construction techniques (traditional construction and accelerated construction), geometric details and material types (concrete-filled double skin steel tubes columns and hollow-core fiber-reinforced polymer-concrete-steel (HC-FCS) columns), and resistance mechanisms under seismic actions. The lateral response of several experimentally tested CFDST columns during and after an earthquake was carefully scrutinized and evaluated in terms of the stiffness, strength, drift capacity, energy dissipation, failure modes, residual deformation, and repairability. Finally, some interesting findings were extracted and concluded based on the presented review.
