Abstract
This paper describes an analytical model developed to predict the behaviour of axially loaded slender members composed of steel hollow structural sections (HSS), retrofitted with carbon-fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite sheets. A previous experimental study by the authors showed that gain in strength due to CFRP retrofitting was highly sensitive to the specimen's imperfection. As such, developing an analytical model was necessary to uncouple the effects of imperfection and number of CFRP layers. The model predicts the load versus axial and lateral displacements, and accounts for initial imperfection, and the contribution of CFRP sheets. The model was verified against results of the experimental program and showed reasonable agreement. The model was then used in a steel plasticity, the built-in through-thickness residual stresses, geometric non-linearity, including increased both the axial strength and stiffness substantially. parametric study. The study demonstrated that retrofitting slender HSS columns using CFRP sheets CFRP layers, it is believed that geometric imperfections have also varied among the specimens. As such, no specific correlation could be established between the amount of strength gain and the amount of CFRP.
