The document depicts a cross-section of a composite column that uses carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and concrete encased around an inner steel tube. The CFRP and concrete provide external reinforcement around a hollow steel tube core. Key dimensions labeled are the inner and outer diameters (2a0 and 2b0) of the CFRP and concrete layer, as well as the overall diameter (b) of the composite column.
