Numerical Simulation of FRP-Jacketed RC Columns Subjected to Cyclic Loading

چکیده
This paper presents a study that forms part of an ongoing project on the seismic retrofit of reinforced concrete (RC) structures with fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP). In this study, a stress-strain model for FRP-confined concrete subjected to cyclic loading was implemented into OpenSees to support the performance-based design of FRP jackets for the seismic retrofit of RC columns/structures. Initial results from the numerical column model for two test columns show that the predicted responses are in close agreement with the test responses.

متن کاملTheoretical model for slender FRP-confined circular RC columns
An important application of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is to provide confinement to reinforced concrete (RC) columns to enhance their loadcarrying capacity. However, this application is generally restricted to short columns as existing design guidelines do not contain provisions for the design of FRP jackets for slender columns. This situation has been due to both the scarcity of...

The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of precorrosion and postcorrosion damage on concrete jacketed RC columns under uniaxial loading and to develop a rational methodology for predicting the corresponding compressive strength. The predamage and postdamage involved an electrochemical process to accelerate the migration of chlorides from an external electrolyte into the te...
