Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are widely used as composite materials in civil engineering applications to rehabilitate or strengthen reinforced-concrete structural elements. The purpose of this study was compile an extensive and up-to-date experimental database based on the compressive tests conducted circular confined concrete elements using FRP materials. Strict criteria were implemented d...

This article proposes a new constitutive model for the cyclic behavior of rubberized concrete confined with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets. The is calibrated experimental results from 18 (CRuC) cylinders tested in compression. had 60% total aggregate volume replacement recycled tyre rubber. Parameters investigated include type confining material (Carbon or Aramid FRP) and number layers (...

This paper investigates the effectiveness of four different soft computing methods, namely radial basis neural network (RBNN), adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) with subtractive clustering (ANFIS-SC), ANFIS with fuzzy c-means clustering (ANFIS-FCM) and M5 model tree (M5Tree), for predicting the ultimate strength and strain of concrete cylinders confined with fiber-reinforced polymer...

Abstract Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) usage to wrap reinforced concrete (RC) structures has become a popular technology. Most studies about RC columns wrapped with FRP in literature ignored the internal steel reinforcement. This paper aims develop model for axial compressive strength and strain confined The impact of FRP, Transverse, longitudinal reinforcement is studied. Two non-destructive ...
