Plastic mechanism analysis of CHS stub columns strengthened using CFRP

This paper presents a plastic mechanism analysis for circular hollow section (CHS) tubes strengthened using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) deforming in an axi-symmetric (elephant foot) collapse mode under large deformation axial loading. The collapse proceeded progressively by folding about...
