Influence of Inner Steel Tube Diameter on Compressive Behavior of Square FRP-HSC-Steel Double-Skin Tubular Columns

Article Preview

Abstract:

FRP-concrete-steel double-skin tubular columns (DSTCs) are a new form composite column system that effectively combines the advantages of the constituent materials. The performance of this column system has been experimentally investigated in a number of recent studies. However, apart from a single study reported on square DSTCs, all of the existing studies have been concerned with DSTCs with circular external tubes. This paper reports on part of an ongoing experimental program at the University of Adelaide on FRP-concrete-steel composite columns. The results from 12 square hollow and concrete-filled DSTCs and six companion hollow concrete-filled FRP tubes (H-CFFTs) that were tested under axial compression are presented. Results of the experimental study indicate that hollow DSTCs with larger inner steel tube diameters develop similar ultimate axial stresses to but significantly larger axial strains than companion DSTCs with smaller inner steel tubes. The results also show that, in concrete-filled DSTCs with similar Ds/ts ratios, an increase in the steel tube diameter leads to an increase in both axial stress and strain of concrete. It was observed that H-CFFTs perform significantly worse than both hollow and filled DSTCs under axial compression, and their behavior further degrades with an increase in the diameter of their inner voids.
