Analysis on Bearing Capacity of Concrete-Filled Tubular CFRP-Steel Stub Column under Axle Compression

New progress of research and applications of CFRP at home and abroad are introduced in this paper. The circular concrete-filled tubular CFRP-steel stub column under axial loads is studied based on the unified strength theory in the paper. The effect of intermediate principal stress on the ultimate strength for the concrete-filled tubular CFRP-steel stub column have been investigated. The ultimate load calculation formula for the concrete-filled tubular CFRP-steel stub column is derived in this paper, and can be simplified for cases without CFRP. Compared with the solution obtained in this paper and the experimental results, the good agreement can be found. The effects of the intermediate shear stress, the cross-section deformation ratio and also the inner friction angle of the concrete are all considered in the theory analysis. The analysis result further tests the applicability of the unified strength theory in the field of concrete-filled CFRP-steel tube. It has an important theory value for engineering application.
