METHODOLOGY FOR FIBER WRAPPING OF COLUMNS

Abstract

Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) wrapping of Reinforced Concrete (RC) columns, as a rapidly growing strengthening technique, requires appropriate design methods. However, the current available design guides are based on models, in their majority semi-empirical, and calibrated with small-scale plainconcrete specimens. These models might not be reliable in predicting the strength and ductility enhancement sought through FRP confinement in RC columns with geometric and material properties as found in practice. The percentage of strength enhancement isvariable for different shapes and sizes of FRP wrapped columns.
