Abstract:

UHSC is widely used in bridges, high raise structures, replacing with Heavy weight structural elements etc. However higher the strength of UHSC, higher the material brittleness. Therefore, it is important to improve the ductility of UHSC. Concrete-filled FRP tubes owe their improved deformation capacities to the confinement action provided by the surrounding FRP tube. The lateral confinement can enhance both the strength and ductility of concrete. Thus the ductile behaviour of UHSC filled in GFRP tubes has to be studied. The effect of confinement with respect to corner radius and aspect ratio will be studied. Thus this experimental study will include the strength and ductile behaviour of the circular ultra high strength concrete filled FRP tubes.

Keywords:
