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.
