Introduction As a kind of excellent combination structure, concrete filled steel tube (CFT) structures have been used widely in civil engineering.
Besides, most of the formulas are deduced from the test results of small size specimens rather than large size specimens which are practically used in civil engineering.
Furthermore, some reasonable suggestions are benefit on choosing the suitable formula for engineering design.
Some suggestions are made to choose the suitable formula, which give a reference for civil engineer

And the correlation equation of flexural capacity on the cross section of high-strength reinforced concrete beams strengthened with FRP is deduced according to different types of failure.The correlation equation is shown to be in good agreement with the experimental results, which can be referred to engineering application.
Introduction In recent years, high-strength concrete structure with high carrying capacity, reducing structural dead weight, increasing structure area, lower project cost, etc., adapt to modern structure to span, overload and towering trends, are being widely used in engineering practice,which are able to adapt to a modern structure to a large span, heavy and high-rise development trend[1]~[3].
However, the design and construction deficiencies in existing building , the transfer function of the building , and the impact of the environment and natural disasters, etc., caused some problems with the structure itself, resulting in performance degradation, which calls for high-strength concrete structure reinforcement and repair.And FRP (fiber reinforce polymer) with a corrosion-resistant, high strength, light weight, good durability are being increasingly applied to civil engineering structures [4].At present, the application and research about FRP focused on reinforced concrete structure strengthened with FRP in civil engineering, to be less for high-strength reinforced steel concrete structure strengthened with FRP.
