Axial Compressive Behavior of High- and Ultra High-Strength Concrete-Filled AFRP Tubes

Abstract:

Concrete-filled FRP tubes (CFFTs) have received significant research attention over the last two decades. However, the experimental studies on the behavior of CFFTs filled with high- and ultra high-strength concretes (HSC and UHSC) remain very limited. This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the compressive behavior of circular HSC- and UHSC-filled fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) tubes (HSCFFTs and UHSCFFTs). A total of 24 aramid fiber made CFFTs were tested under uniaxial compression to investigate the influences of concrete strength, amount of confinement and manufacturing method of FRP tubes. The influence of tube manufacturing method was investigated with specimens manufactured with either automated filament winding or manual wet lay-up techniques. In this paper the experimentally recorded stress-strain relationships are presented graphically and key experimental outcomes discussed. The results indicate that the manufacturing method of the FRP tubes significantly influence the compressive behavior of CFFTs.
