Fibre reinforced plastic tubes with balanced off-axis ply orientation exhibit excellent mechanical properties and are widely used in various types of structures. In this study, a theoretical prediction model was proposed to determine the overall buckling load and the failure mode of fibre reinforced plastic laminated tubes with off-axis ply orientation under axial compression. This model considers the transverse shear effect and adopts Puck failure criteria to perform an analysis based on deduced three-dimensional stress and strain fields. A series of carbon fibre reinforced plastics tubes with varying off-axis ply orientations and lengths were designed and prepared. Axial compression tests with effective end-reinforcement and hinge support were performed to validate the proposed prediction model. The results indicated that the predicted model results were in good agreement with the test results, with respect to ultimate loads, failure modes, and locations of failure. Parametric analysis on the influence of transverse shear effect was also conducted, which further explained the influencing degree of transverse shear effect considering different tube lengths, ply sequences, and initial deflection.
