Elliptical FRP-Concrete-Steel Double-Skin Tubular Columns under Monotonic Axial Compression by Bing Zhang, Gui-Sen Feng, Yan-Lei Wang, Cong-Cong Lai, Chen-Chen Wang, Xia-Min Hu

“…Experimental results show that, the averaged peak stress of the confined concrete in elliptical DSTCs increases with the increase in the elliptical aspect ratio, whereas the elliptical aspect ratio has no obvious effect on the ultimate axial strain; the cross-section shape of the inner steel tube has significant effect on the axial stress-strain behavior of the confined concrete in elliptical DSTCs; elliptical DSTCs with an elliptical steel tube exhibit much better ductility and strength enhancement than those specimens with a rectangular steel tube. …”
