Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of fire-damaged circular concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) stub columns confined with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets under compression. Three main components in the analysis include (1) 2D heat transfer analysis to predict the temperature distributions in the CFST cross section under ISO-834 standard fire, (2) Post-fire mechanical properties of steel and concrete, and (3) Analytical model that incorporates the confinement effect to predict the load capacity of FRP-confined fire-damaged CFST columns. After validated with existing experimental results, the proposed analysis is employed to investigate the effects of heating period and number of FRP layers on the effectiveness of the FRP confinement method.
