Axial compression tests were carried out on 72 FRP (fiber reinforced polymer)–stirrup
composite-confined concrete columns. Stirrups ensure the residual bearing capacity and …

The use of fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) jackets as an external mean to strengthen
existing RC columns has emerged in recent years with very promising results [1-13], among …

Commonly used fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) includes Carbon, Glass, and Aramid FRP
composites. Meanwhile, some new FRPs such as PBO (Polypara-phenylene-Benzo-bis …

This paper presents an experimental program that includes 78 fiber reinforced polymer
(FRP)-confined square concrete columns subjected to eccentric loading. The degradation of …

Studies undertaken in the past years concentrated on studying FRP-confined columns
subjected to concentrated loads. Only a few of these studies addressed the engineering …

The use of FRP composites for the confinement of concrete has become an important aspect
to consider on strengthening of concrete columns. It is important therefore that accurate …

This paper presents a comprehensive experimental study on the behaviour of FRP-confined
concrete in square and rectangular columns and focuses on some issues that might be …

The accuracy of existing compressive strength models for fiber–reinforced polymer (FRP)-
confined concrete might vary significantly since most of them were established empirically …

Most of the available studies on the behavior of FRP confined concrete columns have
concentrated on circular shaped columns, while relatively few studies have addressed …

One of the main applications of FRP composites is confining concrete columns. Hence
identifying the cyclic and monotonic stress-strain behavior of confined concrete columns and …
