In this paper, a compressive peak strength model for CFRP-confined thermal insulation materials under elevated temperature was proposed. The thermal insulation material was made by Portland cement with different portions of perlite. The compressive strengths of four different perlite ratios in weight, such as 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% of thermal insulation materials, confined by one-layer, two-layer, and three-layer carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials, were obtained. The test results indicated that the specimen's compressive strength decreased with an increase in the amount of perlite replacement and increased with an increase in the number of CFRP wrapping layers. Based on the test results, a theoretical compressive peak strength model with some parameters was proposed. In the meantime, the compressive strengths of the above four different perlite ratios of thermal insulation materials under elevated temperature, such as ambient temperature, 100 °C, 150 °C, 200 °C, 250 °C, and 300 °C, were obtained. For compression tests of specimens with a fixed amount of perlite, the test results indicated that the specimen's compressive strength decreased with an increase in temperature, highlighting a thermal softening phenomenon. Based on the test results, a compressive peak strength model with a thermal softening parameter was proposed to predict the peak strength under elevated temperature. Finally, a compressive peak strength model for thermal insulation material with CFRP confinement under different elevated temperature was derived, and it achieved acceptable results in comparison to the experimental results.
