Note. = the 28-day compressive strength of concrete; = the total nominal thickness of CFRP; = the thickness of steel tube; CFRP tubes of CFFT, DSTC-H, and DSTC-F were made of two layers of CFRP (nominal thickness is 0.117 mm/ply), while CCFSTs were wrapped with two layers of CFRP sheets (nominal thickness is 0.167 mm/ply).
