Experimental Behavior of FRP Confined Concrete Cylinder Wrapped by Two Different FRPs

Behavior of FRP-Confined Concrete-Filled Steel Tube Columns

This paper presents the results of an experimental study into the behavior of concrete-filled steel tube columns confined by fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP). Eleven columns were tested to investigate the effects of the FRP layer number, the thickness of the steel tube and concrete strength on their load capacity and axial deformation capacity. The experimental results indicated that the FRP wrap...

Effect of Organic and Inorganic Matrix on the Behavior of FRP-Wrapped Concrete Cylinders

There is an increased use of fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPC) in a wide area of engineering fields for various reasons including, ease of transportation and installation, high strength to weight ratio and favorable durability in different conditions. On the other hand, the use of this material as confining shells has been an interesting matter for retrofit, strengthening and construct...

Behavior of FRP-Confined Reactive Powder Concrete Columns under Eccentric Loading

Fiber reinforced Polymers (FRP) have widely used for the purposes of enhances strength and ductility of concrete columns. Proper design of such hybrid columns, however, requires a better recognition of the behavior of concrete columns confined with FRP. In this paper, the influence of FRP thickness, concrete compressive strength, and column size on the performance of eccentrically loaded reacti...

Behaviour of FRP wrapped circular concrete columns under eccentric loading

Concrete Open-Wall Systems Wrapped with FRP under Torsional Loads

The static behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams plated with layers of fiber-reinforced composite material (FRP) is widely investigated in current literature, which deals with both its numerical modeling as well as experiments. Scientific interest in this topic is explained by the increasing widespread use of composite materials in retrofitting techniques, as well as the consolidation and ...
