Abstract
Filament-wound FRP tubes are extensively utilized in various FRP-concrete composite structures, such as concrete-filled FRP tubes (CFFT). In CFFTs, the FRP tubes are subjected to axial compression and hoop tension. This biaxial stress state diminishes the confining effect. Owing to the winding procedure, the fibre bundles in the tube wall fluctuate, and the meso-scale fibre architecture can further impact the mechanical properties of the composites, rendering the classical lamination theory (CLT) insufficient in predicting the biaxial tube behaviour. This study presents a meso-scale finite element (FE) analysis on the repeated unit cells (RUCs) of the tube wall. With the RUC results, the parameters of CLT analysis are modified. The accuracy of the analysis-oriented model for FRP-confined concrete is improved by the modified CLT parameters. Based on the refined analysis-oriented model, a series of factors for modifying the hoop tensile test results are put forward for engineering design.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
