<p>A concrete-filled fiber-reinforced structural member (100) is provided comprising a concrete core (105) encased in a lightweight fiber-reinforced composite shell (103) formed by winding polymer impregnated high-strength filaments (107, 109). The fibers are arranged for optimal strength and may be tailored for a specific requirement. The shell structure (103) is durable, chemically inert, and adaptable to a variety of civil engineering applications. A plurality of composite structural members (100) can be connected via various connectors (301, 402, 409, 411) to form complex space frame structures (601, 701) such as industrial support structures, bridges, buildings and the like.</p> |
