Eight FRP-concrete-steel double-skin tubular columns were tested under constant axial load and cyclically increasing flexural loading. The main parameters in the tests are axial load level and number of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) layers. The influence of those parameters on the strength, ductility, stiffness, and energy dissipation was investigated. It was found that, in general, FRP-concrete-steel double-skin tubular columns exhibit high levels of energy dissipation prior to the rupture of the longitudinal FRP, but experience a sudden drop in the lateral load capacity after that. The ductility of the specimens can be improved to some extent due to the existence of the axial compressive load in current tests. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
