Abstract:
Considering the corrosion of infrastructures under the harsh ocean environment, a new composite structure called concrete, confined by FRP-PVC tubes, is proposed. Although lots of research is focused on the static behaviors of such structures, rare research on the performances of the slender columns has been reported. Therefore, the behavior of slender concrete-filled CFRP-PVC tubular columns under axial compression is studied. Four specimens with different slenderness ratio were tested and compared with numerical analysis results to validate the effectiveness of the analysis method. Factors, such as the number of CFRP layer, concrete compressive strength and the slenderness ratio, that will affect the performance are investigated by the developed method. Finally, the typical φ-λ relation curve and the bearing capacity formula are proposed for the CFRP-PVC confined concrete columns. The results show that the axial load decreases with the slenderness ratio and the bearing capacity increases when the CFRP layer or concrete compressive strength grows. However, the concrete strength increases less when the number of CFRP layers adds up to some extent. The analytical values by the proposed formula agree well with the test results, which indicate that the proposed formula can provide reference for the practical engineering analysis.
