Abstract
This study explores a new moment connection of concrete-filled fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tube (CFFT) to concrete footing. The tube is tightly fitted and adhesively bonded to a short reinforced concrete stub protruding from the footing, which facilitates concrete filling of the tube without the need for shoring. To establish the critical stub length (Xcr), specimens with heavily steel-reinforced stubs varying in length from 0.5D to 2.0D, where D = diameter of the CFFT, were fabricated and tested in flexure by using a cantilever setup. The Xcr required to achieve flexural failure of the CFFT was 1.05D. Additional specimens with a sufficient stub length of 1.5D were then fabricated to examine the effect on strength and ductility of the steel reinforcement ratio (ρs) in the stub. The optimal ρs of the stub required for the CFFT to reach flexural failure was 3.2%. Finally, the effect of low-cycle reversed bending fatigue was studied with and without an axial compression load. Remarkable ductility associat...
