The post-yield hardening (PYH) behaviour is an important character of FRP confined concrete which has been studied by researchers worldwide for decades. In the phenomenon-based level, the authors propose a 3D geometrical method to interpret the mechanisms of analysis-oriented models. This method unifies most existing analysis- and design-oriented models. For the mechanism-based study, the physical behaviour of the FRP confined concrete is revealed by X-ray computed tomography (CT), and the initiation and propagation of the internal cracks are captured by the scanned images. Further, path dependency of FRP confined high-strength concrete (HSC) and nonlinear biaxial behaviour of FRP tube are modelled using the 3D geometrical method. Finally, this paper provides an introduction to the recent development of composite structural elements from the authors' research group, which can maximize the confining efficiency and can improve the structural performance significantly.
