Abstract: In order to investigate the axial compressive behavior of elliptical high-strength concrete-filled GFRP tubular stub columns and verify the applicability of Teng et al. 2016 model for the stress-strain relationship of FRP confined elliptical concrete, a total of four series of eight elliptical high-strength concrete-filled GFRP tubular stub column specimens were tested. One test parameter of the major axis-to-minor axis length ratio (abbreviated as aspect ratios), were considered in this experimental investigation. The test results revealed that the failure mode of elliptical specimens is the rupture of GFRP tube at around the apex of long axis of elliptical section. The confinement of elliptical GFRP tube can significantly improve the compressive strength and ultimate axial strain of concrete core, and the compressive strength and ultimate axial strain decrease with the increase of aspect ratios. The model of Teng et al. 2016 is in good agreement with the test results of this paper, which indicates that the model can be used to predicate the behavior of elliptical high-strength concrete-filled GFRP tubular stub column specimens.
