This study provides new insight on the compressive behaviour of partially fibre reinforced
polymer (FRP) confined concrete with either strain-hardening or strain-softening responses …

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 …

A large number of experimental studies have been conducted over the last two decades to
understand the behavior of FRP-confined concrete columns. This paper presents a …

FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) confinement has been proven to be effective in enhancing
the structural performance of concrete columns. However, the effectiveness of FRP …

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

External confinement by the wrapping of FRP sheets (or FRP jacketing) provides a very
effective method for the retrofit of reinforced concrete (RC) columns subject to either static or …

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

Several analytical models are available in the literature to predict the compressive strength
and the ultimate strain of the FRP confined concrete. The reliability of such models is often …

A method is presented for the assessment and calibration of the elastoplastic behaviour of
FRP confined concrete. The method is based on the evaluation of permanent deformations …

High-strength concrete (HSC) has higher strength-to-weight ratio and stiffness than normal-
strength concrete (NSC). Therefore, the use of HSC can decrease the construction and …
