Abstract:Hybrid double-tube concrete columns (hybrid DTCCs) are a novel form of hybrid columns that combine fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites with two traditional construction materials (i.e., concrete and steel). Hybrid DTCCs consist of an outer FRP tube and an inner steel tube aligned concentrically, with the space between the two tubes and inside of the steel tube filled with concrete. The three materials (i.e., FRP, concrete, and steel) in hybrid DTCCs are combined optimally to deliver excellent performance… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
