An investigation of the octagon-shaped concrete-filled double skin steel tubular columns which used PVC-U pipe to replace the steel tube as inner tube was carried out. In order to study the performances and mechanisms of the components when suffered axial load, ultimate axial bearing capacities of 9 components were tested. The cross-sectional size of the outer steel tube and inner PVC-U pipe and length of the specimen was concerned by the nominal steel ratio and the hollow ratio and slenderness ratio, respectively. The external steel tube and core concrete appeared three and four types of destruction phenomenons, respectively, but the inner PVC-U pipe did not destroy. Finally, experimental results and numerical analysis results were comparied.

The concrete-filed square steel tube with inner I-shaped CFRP profiles short columns under bi-axial eccentric load were investigated by the finite element analysis software ABAQUS. The working mechanism of the composite columns which is under bi-axial eccentric load are investigated by using the stress distribution diagram of steel tube concrete and the I-shaped CFRP profiles. In this paper, the main parameters; eccentric ratio, steel ratio, steel yield strength, concrete compressive strength and CFRP distribution rate of the specimens were investigated to know the mechanical behavior of them. The interaction between the steel tube and the concrete interface at different characteristic points of the composite columns were analyzed. The results showed that the ultimate bearing capacity of the concrete-filed square steel tube with inner I-shaped CFRP profiles short columns under bi-axial eccentric load decrease with the increase of eccentric ratio, the ultimate bearing capacity of the composite columns increase with the increase of steel ratio, steel yield strength, concrete compressive strength and CFRP distribution rate. The contact pressure between the steel tube and the concrete decreased from the corner zone to the flat zone, and the contact pressure decreased from the mid-height cross section to other sections.

This paper carries out a series of experimental study on 6 column specimens, analyses and compares with the different parameters on the axial loading tests of RC columns and RC columns strengthened with steel tube. The experimental results show that the RC columns strengthened with steel tube take full advantage of loading properties of both materials, thus greatly improve the bearing capacity of specimens. With the same wall thickness steel tube, the improving degree of bearing capacity of long columns is bigger than the short columns, and the reinforcement effect is more obvious. The experimental results can offer reference for scientific research and engineering staff, and promote this reinforcement method to be widely used in engineering practice.

Based on the unified strength theory, the bearing capacity of the concrete filled square steel tube short columns with inner CFRP circular tube under eccentric compression was analyzed. The restriction effect of the inner CFRP circular tube upon the core concrete, strength reduction factor for eccentricity ratio and the equivalent reduction factor, which considered the ratio of thickness to side effect, were taken into account in the theoretical analysis. The axial bearing capacity formula of the square steel tube short columns filled with inner CFRP circular tube was deduced. By introducing the strength reduction factor for eccentricity ratio, the eccentric bearing capacity formula on the basis of the axial bearing capacity formula was obtained. Parametric studies were carried out to evaluate the effects of intermediate principal stress, different CFRP deployment ratios, eccentricity ratios and the tension-compression ratio on the eccentric bearing capacity of the column. The formula was verified by the comparison of the theoretical results with the experimental data. The results show that inner CFRP circular tube can effectively restrain the core concrete.

Axial compression tests were carried out on 6 square steel tube confined concrete short columns and 6 BFRP square pipe confined concrete axial compression tests. The concrete strength grades were C30, C40, and C50. The test results show that the failure modes of steel pipe and BFRP pipe are obviously different, and the BFRP pipe undergoes brittle failure. Compared with the short columns of concrete confined by BFRP pipes, the ultimate bearing capacity of axial compression is increased by -76.46%, -76.01%, and -73.06%, and the ultimate displacements are -79.20%, -80.78%, -71.71%.

By introducing the reduction coefficient of concrete strength and the equivalent restriction reduction coefficient,the non-uniform confinement force of square steel tube to its core concrete is turned to that of equivalent circular steel tube. Then the ultimate load calculation formula for the solid multibarrel tube-confined concrete short columns (CHS inner and SHS outer) is derived based on the Unified Strength Theory(UST),in which the double restriction effect and the decrease of longitudinal stress because of the hoop tensile tension are considered. The influence of intermediate principal stress on the ultimate load is studied and the failure mechanism is discussed. The applicability of the formulas is testified and the results show that the formulas have significance in exerting material potential.
