The axial compressive stress-strain relationship of concrete reflects its basic mechanical performance, which is important in analyzing the performance of materials, especially in the analyzing of the elastic modulus, ductility and carrying capacity. In order to study the mechanical properties of polymer-modified concrete and steel fiber reinforced polymer concrete, a comparative study of the compressive stress-strain relationship of polymer-modified concrete and steel fiber reinforced polymer concrete was carried out, the complete compressive stress-strain curves were obtained, and the influence of polymer and steel fiber on concrete elastic modulus and compressive ductility was also studied. It is demonstrated that the compressive ductility index of steel fiber reinforced polymer concrete can reach 7.39 which is greater than that of polymer-modified concrete with the same ingredients. The results also show that steel fiber reinforced polymer concrete is better than both polymer-modified concrete and steel fiber reinforced concrete.

Exposure of buildings to fire is one of the unexpected events during the life of the structure. The heat from the fire can reduce the strength of structural members, and these damaged members need to be strengthened. Repair and strengthening of concrete members by fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites has been one of the most popular methods in recent years and can be used in fire-damaged concrete members. In this paper, in order to provide further data and information about the behavior of post-heated circular concrete columns confined with FRP composites, 30 cylindrical concrete specimens were prepared and subjected under four exposure temperatures of 300, 500, 700, and 900. Then, specimens were repaired by carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites and tested under axial compression. Results indicate that heating causes the color change, cracks, and weight loss of concrete. Also, with the increase of heating temperature, the shape of stress–strain curve of FRP-retrofitted specimens will change. Therefore, the main parts of the stress–strain curve such as ultimate stress and strain and the elastic modulus will change. Thus, a new stress–strain model is proposed for post-heated circular concrete columns confined by FRP composites. Results indicate that the proposed model is in a good agreement with the experimental data.

The stress-strain relationship of Grade 275 steel reinforcing bar under cyclic (reversed) loading is examined using experimental results obtained previously from eleven test specimens to which a variety of axial loading cycles has been applied. A Ramberg-Osgood function is fitted to the experimental stress-strain curves to follow the cyclic stress-strain behaviour after the first load run in the plastic range. The empirical constants in the function are determined by regression analysis and are found to depend mainly on the plastic strain imposed
in the previous loading run. The monotonic stress-strain curve for the steel, with origin of strains suitably adjusted, is assumed to be the envelope curve giving the upper limit of stress. The resulting Ramberg-Osgood expression and envelope is found to give good agreement with the experimentally measured cyclic stress-strain curves.

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the influence of confinement method and specimen end condition on axial compressive behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined concrete. A total of 12 aramid FRP (AFRP)-confined concrete specimens with circular cross-sections were tested. Half of these specimens were manufactured as concrete-filled FRP tubes (CFFTs) and the remaining half were FRP-wrapped concrete cylinders. The effect of specimen end condition was examined on both CFFTs and FRP-wrapped specimens. This parameter was selected to study the influence of loading the FRP jacket on the axial compressive behavior. In this paper the experimentally recorded stress-strain relationships are presented graphically and key experimental outcomes discussed. The results indicate that the performance of FRP-wrapped specimens is similar to that of CFFT specimens and the influence of specimen end condition is negligible.
