Since columns are the most important elements of the structures, failure of one column in a critical location can cause a progressive collapse. In this respect, the repair and strengthening of columns is a very important subject to reduce the building failure and to keep the columns capacity. Twenty columns with different parameters is tested and analysis. Eleven typical confined reinforced con...

one important application of fiber reinforced polymer (frp) is to confine concrete as frp jackets in seismic retrofit process of reinforced concrete structures. confinement can improve concrete properties such as compressive strength and ultimate axial strain. for the safe and economic design of frp jackets, the stress-strain behavior of frp-confined concrete under monotonic and cyclic compress...

In recent years, rehabilitation has been the subject of extensive research due to increased spending on building work and repair of built works. In all cases, it is absolutely essential to carry out methods of strengthening or repair of structural elements, and that following an inspection analysis and methodology of a correct diagnosis. The reinforced concrete columns are important elements in...

Recently, the need to increase the strength of reinforced concrete members has become a subject that civil engineers are interested in tackling. Of the many proposed solutions, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials have attracted attention due to their superior properties, such as high strength-to-weight ratio, high energy absorption and excellent corrosion resistance. FRP wrapping of concre...

Poor fire resistance of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) restricts its further application in construction structures. In this paper, a novel fibre-reinforced cementitious matrix confined concrete column (FRCMCC) using fireproof grout as the fibre matrix was developed, and experiments were conducted to establish its performance and analyse the mechanical properties under axial compression. The te...

the use of polymer composite (frp) as a reinforcement material for the repair and strengthening of important components of reinforced concrete structures, particularly columns, has found wide spread. in this study, the effect of intermediate layer on improving the confinement behavior of reinforced concrete columns has been investigated. to achieve the objectives of the study, 14 cylindrical re...

This paper focuses on the compressive strength of Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP)-confined concrete columns. Data from 114 sets GFRP-confined columns were collected to evaluate researchers’ and proposed model. A data-driven machine learning model was used investigate importance sensitivity parameters affecting strength. The results show that facilitates study confined but suffers a large ...
