Abstract The combined use of a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tube with steel and concrete to form hybrid structural members has attracted increasing research attention. Hybrid FRP-concrete-steel multitube concrete columns (MTCCs) are a new form of such members, comprising an external FRP tube and a number of internal steel tubes, with all the space inside the tubes filled with concrete. Hybrid MTCCs allow the use of small-scale standard steel tube products to construct large-scale columns, and these possess many advantages including excellent ductility, as demonstrated by recent studies. The existing studies on MTCCs, however, have been limited to the testing of small-scale specimens. For a new column form particularly suitable for large-scale construction, the potential size effect on the behavior of MTCCs needs to be clarified. This paper presents the first-ever experimental study on large-scale MTCCs through the testing of specimens with an outer diameter (for circular spe ....
