Large Beam - Column Tests on Concrete - Filled Composite Tubes

摘要

The concept of concrete-filled composite tubes was developed to address the corrosion problems associated with reinforced and prestress concrete piles. Beam - column tests on a total of sixteen 2.75 m long specimens demonstrated the feasibility of off-the-shelf fiber - reinforced polymer (FRP) products. Two types of tubes were used: spin - cast (I) and filament - wound (II).
