Notes:
The concrete-filled steel tubes have been widely used in buildings and civil structures.However the corrosion of the steel tubes results in the loss of load carrying capacities of the membersand, therefore, there is a need for regular maintenance. To mitigate such maintenance issues andprevent the loss of load carrying capacity, FRP composite were suggested as the candidate material. Anumber of research works has shown that the use of FRP tubes produced by filament windingtechnique was very effective on the improvement of compressive strength of the concrete-filled FRPtubes (CFFT). However the filament wound FRP tubes did mot contribute to the increase of theflexural strength of a CFFT. In this paper, a new type of FRP tube which consists of several pultrudedopen sections assembled by filament winding technique is proposed to improve compressive strengthas well as flexural strength of a CFFT. The load carrying capacity of proposed CFFT is discussedthrough the analytical investigation
