This paper presents the results of 20 hollow and concrete-filled double-skin tubular columns (DSTCs), which were tested as part of a comprehensive experimental program that was undertaken at The University of Adelaide on FRP-concrete steel DSTCs. The paper is aimed at providing important insights into the influence of two key parameters, namely the diameter of inner steel tube and presence/absence of a concrete-filling inside the inner steel tube, which play major roles in the column behavior through their influences on a series of interacting mechanisms that govern the complex system behavior. A detailed examination of the results yielded a number of important insights into the mechanisms that influence the compressive behavior of DSTCs.

This paper reports on part of an ongoing experimental program at the University of Adelaide on FRP-concrete-steel double-skin tubular columns (DSTCs). The main emphasis of the study reported in this paper was to investigate the influence of loading pattern on the axial compressive behavior of DSTCs. To this end, 12 hollow and concrete-filled DSTCs were manufactured and tested under monotonic or cyclic axial compression. All of the specimens were manufactured using high-strength concrete (HSC). The results of the experimental study indicate that that concrete in cyclically loaded hollow DSTCs exhibits slightly larger strength and strain enhancement ratios than concrete in companion monotonically loaded DSTCs. The results also indicate that concrete in filled DSTCs exhibit slightly larger strength enhancement ratios than and similar strain enhancement ratios to concrete in monotonically loaded DSTCs.

This paper reports on a part of an ongoing experimental program at the University of Adelaide on the behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)-concrete-steel double-skin tubular columns (DSTCs). Influence of concrete-filling inner steel tube on the compressive behavior of FRP-concrete-steel DSTCs was investigated experimentally through the test of 8 normal-and high-strength concrete DSTCs. The results of the experimental study indicate that concrete-filling inner steel tubes of DSTCs results in a slightly increase in the compressive strength and decrease in the ultimate strain of concrete in DSTCs, compared to companion DSTCs with hollow inner steel tubes. The results also indicate that concrete in both types of DSTCs is confined effectively by FRP and steel tubes.
