Abstract
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined steel-reinforced concrete column (FCSRC), which consists of an external FRP tube and a steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) core, have been proposed to avoid the brittleness of SRCs. Capitalizing on the benefits of FRP-confine concrete, it is expected that full strength capacities of high-strength materials (i.e., high-strength concrete and high-strength steel) in FCSRCs can be exploited. Axial compression tests on FCSRCs with different strengths of concrete and steel were conducted in this study. A cruciform steel was adopted in FCSRCs. The parameters investigated in this study included the concrete strength, the steel strength and the FRP tube thickness. The test results demonstrated that the excellent performance of FCSRCs. Compared with normal-strength cross-shaped steel, the high-strength cruciform steel delays the development of hoop strains in the FRP tube for FCSRCs with normal-strength concrete. Additionally, the ultimate axial load of FCSRCs is generally larger than the direct summation of those of the steel section and FRP-confined concrete section (i.e., CFFT), demonstrating that the interaction between the three components (concrete, steel profile and FRP tube) in FCSRCs are in a benificial manner.
