The purpose of this study was to study the hysteretic behavior of FCCC-R specimens under cyclic loading. Different cyclic loading systems were applied to the specimens and the resulting test data were analyzed and compared, in addition to revealing the mechanism of elongation and mechanical properties of the specimens under the different loading systems. Furthermore, finite-element simulation was performed for different FCCC-Rs using the ABAQUS software. The finite-element model was also used for the expansion parameter studies to analyze the effects of different influencing factors, including the different winding layers, winding angles of the GFRP strips, and the rebar-position eccentricity, on the hysteretic properties of FCCC-R. The test result indicates that FCCC-R exhibits superior hysteretic properties in terms of maximum compressive bearing capacity, maximum strain value, fracture stress, and envelope area of the hysteresis loop when compared to ordinary rebar. The hysteretic performance of FCCC-R increases as the slenderness ratio is increased from 10.9 to 24.5 and the constraint diameter is increased from 30 mm to 50 mm, respectively. Under the two cyclic loading systems, the elongation of the FCCC-R specimens is greater than that of ordinary rebar specimens with the same slenderness ratio. For different slenderness ratios, the range of maximum elongation improvement is about 10% to 25%, though there is still a large discrepancy compared to the elongation of ordinary rebar under monotonic tension. Despite the maximum compressive bearing capacity of FCCC-R is improved under cyclic loading, the internal rebars are more prone to buckling. The results of the finite-element simulation are in good agreement with the experimental results. According to the study of expansion parameters, it is found that the hysteretic properties of FCCC-R increase as the number of winding layers (one, three, and five layers) and winding angles (30\u00b0, 45\u00b0, and 60\u00b0) in the GFRP strips increase, while they decrease as the rebar-position eccentricity (0.15, 0.22, and 0.30) increases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym15122728","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,19]],"date-time":"2023-06-19T01:59:51Z","timestamp":1687139991000},"page":"2728","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Research on Hysteretic Behavior of FRP-Confined Concrete Core-Encased Rebar"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Jingzhou","family":"Lu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Yantai University, Yantai 264005, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tong","family":"Mou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Yantai University, Yantai 264005, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chen","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Yantai University, Yantai 264005, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Han","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Yantai University, Yantai 264005, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenyu","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Yantai University, Yantai 264005, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"105","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcsr.2018.05.001","article-title":"Study on cyclic constitutive model and ultra low cycle fracture prediction model of duplex stainless steel","volume":"152","author":"Chang","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
