This experimental study presents concrete-filled double-skin tubular columns and demonstrates their expected advantages. These columns consist of an outer steel tube, an inner steel tube, and concrete sandwiched between two tubes. The influence of the outer-to-inner tube dimension ratio, outer tube to thickness ratio, and type of inner tube material (steel, PVC pipe) on the ultimate axial capacity of concrete-filled double-skin tubular columns is studied. It is found that the yield strength of the inner tube does not significantly affect the ultimate axial capacity of concrete-filled double-skin tubular composites. With the replacement of the inner tube of steel with a PVC pipe, on average, less than 10% strength is reduced, irrespective of size and dimensions of the steel tube. Hence, the cost of a project can be reduced by replacing inner steel tubes with a PVC pipes. Finally, the experimental results are compared with the existing design methods presented in AISC 360-16 (2016), GB51367 (2019), and EC4 (2004). It is found from the comparison that GB51367 (2019) gives better results, followed by AISC (2016) and EC4 (2004).

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.

Recently, a new type of composite system was proposed in the form of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP)-concrete-steel double-skin tubular columns (DSTCs). The performance of this column system, which consists of an outer tube made of FRP and an inner tube made of steel, has been experimentally investigated in a number of studies. However, apart from a single study reported on square DSTCs, all of the existing studies have been concerned with DSTCs with circular external tubes. This paper reports on part of an ongoing experimental program at the University of Adelaide that was aimed at addressing this research gap. The effect of cross-sectional shape of inner steel tube on compressive behaviour of square DSTCs was investigated through the test of 16 hollow and concrete-filled DSTCs. The result of the experimental study indicate that concrete in hollow DSTCs with circular inner steel tubes develop significantly larger ultimate axial stresses and strains than concrete in companion hollow DSTCs with square inner steel tubes. On the other hand, the results also indicate that the presence of a concrete-filling inside inner steel tubes results in a significant improvement in the behavior of DSTCs with square inner steel tubes.

This paper presents an investigation of ultimate strength of square CFT stub columns with compact sections. The beneficial composite action between the steel tube and the filled concrete is taken into account and a new analytical model for predicting the axial capacity of square CFT stub columns with compact sections is proposed. Experimental results of 89 axially loaded square CFT stub columns published in the literature are then used to verify the proposed strength model. Results show that the proposed strength model provides a direct, compact, and efficient representation of the ultimate strength of square CFT stub columns made with not only normal strength but also with high strength steel tubes and concrete.

This paper reports on part of an ongoing experimental program at The University of Adelaide on FRP-concrete-steel composite columns. A total of eight high-strength concrete double-skin tubular columns (DSTCs) were tested under axial compression. The column parameters examined included the diameter, thickness, and shape of inner steel tube. The results of the experimental study show that increasing the inner steel tube diameter leads to an increase in the ultimate axial stress and strain of concrete in DSTCs. The results also show that increasing inner steel tube thickness leads to an increase in the ultimate axial stress and strain of DSTCs. Furthermore, it is observed that concrete inside DSTCs with square inner steel tubes is not confined as effectively as concrete inside DSTCs with circular inner steel tubes.

This paper reports on part of an ongoing experimental program at The University of Adelaide on FRP-concrete-steel composite columns. The results from eight FRP-concrete-steel double-skin columns (DSTCs) that were tested under constant axial compression are presented. The key parameters examined included diameter, thickness, and strength of inner steel tube. The results of the experimental study indicate that concrete in a DSTC system is confined effectively by FRP and steel tubes. The results also indicate that increasing the inner steel tube diameter leads to an increase in the ultimate axial strength and strain of DSTCs. No clear influence of the strength of inner steel tube is observed on the ultimate condition of concrete in DSTCs. These results are presented together with a discussion on the influence of the key parameters on the compressive behavior of DSTCs.

Since the expansion of the cement during curing was constraint by the steel tube, the concrete core in the self-stressing concrete-filled steel tubes (SSCFST) is under tri-axially compression before applying load, which increases the axial capacity of the SSCFST. In addition, Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) wrapping can avoid bucking of the steel tube, increase the axial capacity and improve the durability of SSCFST. This study presents a theoretical study on axial capacity of the SSCFST wrapped with CFRP sheets. Several basic assumptions are proposed. The ultimate equilibrium method was employed to analyze the axial capacity, of which two limit states, including steel tube bucking and CFRP sheets rupturing were considered. The analytical results from an example show that the initial self-stress improves axial capacity of the SSCFST by about 30% and the CFRP reinforcement improves axial capacity by about 15%.

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.
