The present article deals with the analysis of experimental results, in terms of load-carrying
capacity and strain, obtained from tests on plain-and reinforced-concrete (RC) cylinders …

This paper presents the findings of an experimental and analytical study of concrete cylinder
behaviour when wrapped in fibreglass or carbon fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) …

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) material has proved to be more efficient than other
composites when applied to concrete columns as an external reinforcement. Because of its …

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the behavior of axially loaded
short rectangular columns that have been strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer …

The confinement of concrete columns provided by carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP)
sheets can be an efficient technique for their structural strengthening. The principal …

Reinforced concrete columns can be strengthened by a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)
jacket which provides lateral confinement to the column. This technique is very effective for …

An important application of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is as a confining
material for concrete, both in the seismic retrofit of existing reinforced concrete columns and …

While there is abundant research on fibre reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined circular
concrete columns, information on FRP-confined rectangular concrete columns is much more …

One of the most attractive applications of FRP materials is their use as confining devices for
concrete columns, which may result in remarkable increases of strength and ductility as …

The mechanical behaviour of concrete confined by carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP)
sheets is investigated in this study. Two series of tests were conducted on standard concrete …
