This　paper　proposed　a　novel　composite　column　with　exceptional　resilience　and　corrosion　resistance　achieved　through　the　casting　of　engineered　cementitious　composites　(ECCs)　in　the　plastic　hinge　region　and　the　utilization　of　steel-FRP　composite　bars　(SFCBs).　A　total　of　six　specimens　were　tested　under　constant　axial　load　and　cyclic　lateral　load　to　examine　their　seismic　performance　and　reparability.　The　influence　of　the　type　of　longitudinal　reinforcement　(steel　bar,　SFCB,　and　GFRP　bar)　and　the　matrix　type　(ECC　and　concrete)　in　the　plastic　hinge　region　was　discussed.　Test　results　indicated　that　configuring　SFCB　in　the　columns　facilitated　drift-hardening　characteristics,　which　in　turn　enhanced　resilience.　The　adoption　of　ECC　in　the　plastic　hinge　region　further　reduced　residual　deformation　of　the　composite　columns　while　significantly　improving　both　lateral　strength　and　ductility.　The　maximum　repairable　limit　of　the　specimens　increases　by　a　factor　of　1.36,　1.86,　and　2.5,　respectively,　as　the　FRP　content　increases　from　0%　to　31.3%,　56.4%,　and　100%.　The　specimens　reinforced　with　SFCBs　can　be　quickly　restored　to　their　intended　use　without　repair,　before　reaching　a　2%　drift　ratio.　The　slip　effect　of　SFCBs　has　a　substantial　impact　on　increasing　the　lateral　displacement　of　test　columns,　and　this　effect　tends　to　increase　with　an　increase　in　FRP　content.　A　fiber　model　was　developed　for　predicting　the　skeleton　curves,　and　its　accuracy　was　validated　through　comparisons　between　the　predicted　and　test　results.　©　2024　Elsevier　Ltd
