Reinforced structural column system

Improved structural column assemblies and related fabrication methods are provided. More particularly, the present disclosure provides improved systems/methods for the design and fabrication of structural column assemblies having improved mechanical properties and/or improved resistance to multiple hazards (e.g., earthquakes, blasts, high temperatures, etc.). Disclosed herein is a structural column assembly having a uniquely designed fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) tube filled with concrete to be used as a structural column (e.g., in bridge and/or building construction). The exemplary composite or FRP tube can include layers of metallic and/or non-metallic fibers wound at improved/optimized angles. A multi-hazard resilient column system which can negate the need for additional concrete reinforcement or formwork at construction sites is provided. The novel tube is highly resistant to corrosive environments, and will facilitate accelerated bridge construction (ABC), while providing a solution for columns at risk from multiple hazards.
