Abstract: This study intends to provide a simplified analytical model of the laterally confined concrete filled steel tube (CCFT) column system which adopts carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) jackets in order to make up for major ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study to introduce and experimentally validate an innovative concrete filled steel tubular (CFT) column system, named as confined CFT or CCFT, for improved seismic design of steel and concrete composite ...
