A new type of square concrete-filled steel tubular (SCFST) column is proposed, which is characterized by transverse stiffened bars inside the steel tube to improve the effective constraint performance of the concrete core. The experiment of this kind of composite material under axial compression was carried out. The results showed that the bearing capacity of the SCFST column reinforced by internal transverse stiffened bars increased by 4.5%-15% than that of the ordinary SCFST column. The transverse strain is smaller than the SCFST column. As the diameter of the reinforcement increases and decreases the spacing of bars, the axial load bearing capacity increased. The transverse strain of the member decreased obviously. It is noted that the confinement performance of the concrete core of this type was improved to some extent. At the same time, based on the unified theory, the simplified calculation formula of axial compression bearing capacity is derived.

How to effectively reinforce steel structures with rust and damage is an important research topic in the engineering field. This article takes the rusted I-beam as the research object and analyzes the effects of different CFRP/GFRP reinforcement methods on the bending performance of rusted I-beams through experimental research with a total of 1 unreinforced beam and 7 CFRP/GFRP-reinforced beams. The results show that when the number of CFRP/GFRP-reinforced layers is the same, replacing some of the CFRP with GFRP and using different interlayer mixed laying sequences have little effect on the bending bearing capacity of rusted I-beams. The number of CFRP/GFRP-reinforced layers is the key factor affecting the bending bearing capacity. At the same time, numerical simulation was conducted using finite element software to study the stress distribution and stress development law of the reinforced beam, and the numerical simulation results were consistent with the experimental results.
