Seismic performance of modular columns made of concrete filled FRP tubes

•A modular column, which can be installed without post-tensioning, is proposed.•The segments of the modular column are made of concrete filled FRP tubes (CFFT).•Quasi-static cyclic loading tests on nine scale-down columns were carried out.•The effect of the joint between the segments on seismic perf...
