Abstract
In this experimental study, the production of glass/epoxy and carbon/epoxy composite square tubes with two different orientation angles such as [-45°/+45°]4 and [0°/90°]4 in three different sizes as K25Y30, K50Y60 and K100Y120 was carried out by hand lay-up method. For produced the composite tubes, aluminum honeycomb and C25 class ready mixed concrete are used as filling materials. The purpose of the experimental study is to determine the parameter effects such as specimen size, fiber material type, orientation angle, filling material on the axial compression behavior of composite square tubes. After the experiment, deformation shapes in composite square tubes were interpreted. The effects of structural and strength properties of filler materials on compressive behavior of composite tubes were investigated. The results obtained for all parameters were compared within themselves and with each other. The filling material was seen to improve the compressive behavior of all three specimen sizes. As the specimen size increased, the compression force value also increased. The highest compression force occurred in the composite tube specimens based on carbon/epoxy filled with concrete, and the lowest value was in hollow glass/epoxy specimens. Specimen damages after compression occurred in the direction of the orientation angle.
