Concrete dilation is one of the main parameters that controls the stress–strain behaviour of
confined concrete. Several analytical studies have been carried out to predict the stress …

Finite element (FE) modeling of confined concrete columns is a challenging task because it
requires accurate definition of the concrete material model to represent the volumetric …

It is well understood that the confinement of concrete with fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP)
composites can significantly enhance its strength and deformability. However, the …

This study is dedicated to the development of a generalized confinement model applicable
to circular concrete columns confined by FRP full and partial confinement arrangements. To …

Experimental research and real-case applications are demonstrating that the use of fiber–
reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials can be a solution to substantially improve …

Concrete confinement has an important role in reinforced concrete columns, especially for
strengthening applications and in hybrid construction. It is well known that confinement …

The use of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) has become widely accepted engineering
practice for strengthening reinforced concrete members. It is well established that lateral …

Proper design of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) retrofitted concrete columns requires an
appropriate concrete model that describes both confinement sensitivity (ie increase of the …

Numerous confinement models which can be categorized as design or analysis oriented
have been proposed for predicting the behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined …

The confining stress in FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) confined concrete is dependent on the
lateral strain of the concrete but the lateral strain of the concrete is dependent on the …
