Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP)-confined concrete short column is a new kind of composite member composed of outer glass fiber reinforced polymer tube and inner reinforced concrete or inner steel-reinforced concrete, whose two common section forms are as shown in Fig. 1. The GFRP tube can not be subjected to pressure directly, but make concrete strength increased by the combined confinement effect with stirrups in horizontal. In order to avoid the longitudinal stress being transmitted to GFRP tube directly, there is always a proper gap left between the tube and the beam or at the column base, which also solves the connection details of casing concrete structure 1. This composite member has so many merits to make itself widely used in the bridge construction and ocean engineering, such as good ductility of steel, lightweight, high strength and strong corrosion resistance of GFRP tube and high compressive strength of concrete, etc. 2-5. Previous reports 6,7 , focus on the bearing capacities of GFRP tubed short columns filled with reinforced concrete (GFRP-RC) and GFRP tubed short columns filled with steel-reinforced concrete (GFRP-SRC) and have presented calculating formulas, but intermediate principal stress is not considered in the data regression method, simple superposition method and unified theory method they have adopted. In document 8 , it is not exact that steel rebar content
