Glass fiber–reinforced polymer tubes filled with steel-reinforced high-strength concrete are proposed as glass fiber–reinforced polymer–steel-reinforced high-strength concrete composite members. Eccentric compression is a typical loading scenario for such column members in practice. Experimental investigation on eight glass fiber–reinforced polymer tubes filled with steel–reinforced high-strength concrete columns subjected to eccentric compression was conducted. The effects of fiber orientation, thickness of glass fiber–reinforced polymer tube, slenderness ratio of columns, and loading eccentricity were investigated. It was found that the compression bearing capacity of glass fiber–reinforced polymer–steel-reinforced high-strength concrete columns increased with the decrease in the fiber tangle angle and the increase in the thickness of the glass fiber–reinforced polymer tube but reduced with the increase in the eccentricity and the slenderness ratio. Corresponding formulas were developed based on the nonlinear full-process analysis theory to describe the compression behavior of glass fiber–reinforced polymer–steel-reinforced high-strength concrete under eccentric loading. Good agreement was found through the comparison between the theoretical and the experimental results. The validated modeling approach was, therefore, employed to develop a parametric analysis that can be used to provide valuable guidance for practical application and further research on such structural members.

The use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars has been gaining increasing popularity in the civil engineering community due to their favorable properties such as high-strength-to-weight ratio and good corrosion resistance. In order for concrete to be FRP reinforced, there must be interfacial bond between FRP bars and concrete. The interfacial bond behavior of FRP bars to concrete is expected to vary from that of conventional steel bars, since various key parameters that influence bond performance are different. This paper presents the results of an experimental and analytical study on the interfacial surface interaction of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in high strength concrete cube. The experimental program consisted of testing 54 concrete cubes prepared according to CSA S802-02 standard 1). The split specimens showed that interfacial bond failure of the steel bar occurred due to concrete crushing in front of the bar deformations, while interfacial bond failure of the GFRP bars occurred partly on the surface of the bar and partly in the concrete by peeling of the surface layer of the bar.
