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

For any structures, Reinforced concrete (RC) columns are the utmost carping members. RC
columns jacketed with CFRP membrane enhance resistance, deformation aptitude, and the …

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 strength and ductility of reinforced concrete (RC) columns can be substantially
enhanced though lateral confinement which may be provided by transverse steel …

The use of high-strength concrete (HSC) can reduce the size of columns in tall buildings and
save space. However, this will also reduce the flexural ductility of the columns. To restore the …

This paper is an experimental study of the prestressed external confinement (as opposed to
the unstressed external confinement) of concrete compression members as a means of …

Abstract Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composite wrap has become an effective
repair system for deteriorated structural columns. It is essential to provide an infill material in …

Ensuring the safety and stability of buildings during earthquakes is of utmost importance.
This can be achieved by assessing the seismic performance of reinforced concrete …

This paper presents analytical stress–strain curves that describe the axial and the lateral
behaviour of externally and internally confined concrete in circular columns. The solution to …

Numerical studies are performed to predict the stress-strain behavior of rectangular RC
columns confined by multi-spiral hoops under axial and eccentric compressions. Using the …
