Abstract
With the increasing use of concrete-filled steel tubes as structural members, there is a growing need to provide measures for the strengthening and repair of such kind of composite members. Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) jacketing is a recent method and is particularly attractive in that it does not significantly increase the section size and is easy to install. Two FRP-strengthened concrete-filled steel tubular columns were tested and the test results are reported in this paper. The test results show that adequate fire resistance can be expected for the strengthened composite columns if they are properly designed.
