Thin-walled steel cylinders (TSCs) have been widely used in many fields of civil engineering and play an important role in the development of infrastructures and the economy. Because TSCs have very thin thicknesses, they are susceptible to buckling when subjected to loading. These structures need to be strengthened to ensure the sustainable development of infrastructures and the economy. In this study, the effects of the angles of carbon fibers for the strengthening of TSCs under compressive loads are investigated by the experiments and finite element analysis.
