Abstract: Considering comprehensively the bearing capacity of SRC (steel-reinforced concrete) columns, a new column model, i.e., the composite FRP-confined SRHC column, is put forward without change in sectional area, which can increase the bearing capacity, shear strength and anti-earthquake ductility. The section steel is embedded in the RC column to become an SRHC column of which the surface is then wrapped spirally and stuck on vertically by FRP sheet during construction or at the moment the main structure has been built to a certain height, thus forming a composite FRP-confined SRHC column. And mast of such composite columns are eccentrically loaded. The confining effect of spirally wrapped FRP sheet on RC and the contribution the vertically stuck FRP sheet made to the normal section bearing capacity of SRHC column are therefore analyzed to determine the boundary hight of the compressive region of the composite column. A formula is given to calculate the normal section bearing capacity of the composite FRP-confined SRHC column under eccentric load.
