Abstract

A steel-fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite material reinforced concrete column comprises an inner steel pipe arranged in the center, wherein the inner steel pipe is internally provided with an unbonded steel strand; the outside of the inner steel pipe is provided with an outer steel pipe, concrete is poured between the inner steel pipe and the outer steel pipe, a plurality of additional small steel pipes are evenly arranged outside the outer steel pipe, and each of the additional small steel pipes is internally provided with an additional unbonded steel strand. A composite bar cage coaxial with the outer steel pipe and arranged on the outside thereof is also provided, wherein both the outer steel pipe and the composite bar cage are covered by high-ductility concrete, and at a core area, the outside of the high-ductility concrete is wrapped with an anti-spalling layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A steel-fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite material reinforced concrete column, comprising an inner steel pipe arranged in the center, wherein the inner steel pipe is internally provided with an unbonded steel strand; outside of the inner steel pipe is provided with an outer steel pipe, concrete is poured between the inner steel pipe and the outer steel pipe, a plurality of additional small steel pipes are evenly arranged outside the outer steel pipe, and each of the additional small steel pipes is internally provided with an additional unbonded steel strand; a composite bar cage composed of a plurality of steel-fiber reinforced polymer composite bars (SFCBs) and steel wire-FRP spiral hoops coaxial with the outer steel pipe and arranged on the outside thereof is further comprised, both the outer steel pipe and the composite bar cage are covered by high-ductility concrete, and outside of the high-ductility concrete is wrapped with an anti-spalling layer; wherein each of the steel strands are stretched and pulled to recover a damaged section of concrete column; a steel plate is positioned to cover the outside of the outer steel pipe that contains damaged concrete; a respective steel-FRP composite bar or a stainless steel bar is inserted into a damaged section of the SFCB.

2. The steel-FRP composite material reinforced concrete column according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of the additional small steel pipes are arranged and are evenly disposed outside the outer steel pipe in a circular pattern.

3. The steel-FRP composite material reinforced concrete column according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of SFCBs located in the high-ductility concrete have unbonded length.

4. The steel-FRP composite material reinforced concrete column according to claim 1 , wherein the high-ductility concrete is covered on core areas of the outer steel pipe and the composite bar cage.

5. The steel-FRP composite material reinforced concrete column according to claim 4 , wherein the outer steel pipe in the area covered by the high-ductility concrete is formed by multiple steel pipes connected in sequence.

6. The steel-FRP composite material reinforced concrete column according to claim 4 , wherein the anti-spalling layer is FRP.
