The behaviour of FRP wrapped HSC columns under different eccentric loads
نویسندگان
چکیده
The majority of columns are subjected to a combination of an axial load and a bending moment in one or two directions. With a few exceptions, most of the research in the area of FRP wrapped columns have concentrated on the behaviour of concentrically loaded columns. This paper presents results of testing nine reinforced high strength concrete columns. The column specimens are circular in shape with 205 mm diameter and 925 mm height. Concrete compressive strength was 65 MPa. All columns were reinforced with steel. Three columns were not wrapped, three columns were wrapped with three layers of carbon FRP and three columns were wrapped with three layers of E-glass FRP. From each of the three groups, one column was tested concentrically, one column was tested with a 25 mm eccentric load and one column was tested with a 50 mm eccentric load. Results of testing the columns have shown that the carbon FRP is most effective in increasing the strength and ductility of columns.

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...

This paper presents results of testing 16 specimens, 12 of which as columns under different eccentricities and four as beams under four point loading regime. All 16 specimens were circular in cross section and were made of reinforced concrete. Four specimens served as reference specimens and were just made of reinforced concrete. The next four specimens were wrapped with Carbon Fibre Reinforced...
متن کاملBehaviour of FRP strengthened concrete columns under eccentric compression loading
This paper presents results of testing eccentrically loaded columns externally wrapped with two types of materials. Six cylindrical (205 mm diameter and 925 mm height) plain columns were cast and tested. Half of the columns were wrapped with GFRP and the other half with CFRP. All columns were tested by applying an axial load at 50 mm eccentricity. In each group (GFRP or CFRP wrapped) of columns...
