Load Carrying Capacity and Ductility of CFRP-Reinforced Earthquake Waste Filled Circular Steel Tube Columns

Abstract:

In order to significantly increase not only the load carrying capacity but also the ductility of the steel tube columns filled with recycled aggregate concrete from the earthquake waste, two different strengthening methods by using externally bonded of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) to strengthened the columns was proposed. Composite columns of CFRP reinforced and steel circular steel tube columns are studied in this study. The aims were to study the contribution of the CFRP sheets applied in enhancing the load carrying capacity and ductility of the steel tube columns with different concrete type, normal concrete and recycled aggregate concrete. The results demonstrate that the ultimate load carrying capacity and ductility of the steel tube columns filled with recycled aggregate concrete can be increased satisfactorily by full wrapping and partial wrapping arrangement of CFRP sheets. Moreover, stiffness of the columns strengthened was also increased greatly due to the restraining effect offered by CFRP and the full wrapping arrangement is better than the partial wrapping arrangement in enhancing the stiffness and the load carrying capacity.
