Numerical Modelling of Geopolymer Concrete In-Filled Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Composite Columns Subjected to Axial Compression Loading.

ABSTRACT: In this research study, the performance of geopolymer concrete (GPC) in-filled fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite (GPC-FRP) columns exposed to compressive loading is examined using the finite element (FE) analysis. The load-deflection behaviour is investigated by considering the impact of the strength of concrete, different fibre orientations and thicknesses of FRP tubes in terms of the diameter/thickness (D/t) ratio, surface friction in between the concrete and enclosing FRP tube, the lateral confinement and the axial stress distribution characteristics. The load-carrying capacity (LCC) of the GPC-FRP composite columns and cement concrete (CC) in-filled FRP composite (CC-FRP) columns is compared and the results imply that the LCC of the GPC-FRP composite columns is (0.9 to 2.04%) gr
