This article presents a comparative study on behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer–confined concrete in axially loaded circular columns strengthened using three different fiber-reinforced polymer partial wrapping strengthening schemes: the fiber-reinforced polymer ring wrapping, the fiber-reinforced polymer strip helical wrapping, and the novel fiber-reinforced polymer strip cross helical wrapping. The test results show that at an identical confinement ratio, the strength enhancement efficiency of the fiber-reinforced polymer strip helical wrapping is slightly weaker than those of the other two strengthening schemes, while the strain enhancement efficiency of the fiber-reinforced polymer strip helical wrapping is the strongest among the three strengthening schemes. An analysis-oriented stress–strain model is proposed for the confined concrete with fiber-reinforced polymer partial wrapping, and the comparisons show that the model is capable to provide satisfactory predictions on stress–strain behavior of confined concrete with fiber-reinforced polymer partial wrapping.

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.

This study aimed to evaluate the load-carrying capacity of reinforced concrete rectangular columns confined with fiber-reinforced polymer composites and subjected to small eccentric loading. Seven design-oriented models of fiber-reinforced polymer-confined concrete were implemented in OpenSees software to establish the theoretical axial force-moment interaction diagram for rectangular columns. The examined models were categorized into two types: stress–strain models developed for fiber-reinforced polymer-confined non-circular concrete tested under the effect of concentric loading and others designed for fiber-reinforced polymer-confined non-circular concrete subjected to eccentric loading. The accuracy of these models was examined against the experimental results of eccentrically loaded fiber-reinforced polymer-confined reinforced concrete rectangular columns. Results indicated that the local stress–strain law obtained from the concentric compression tests would not reflect very well the local behavior of the compression zone of fiber-reinforced polymer-reinforced concrete members subjected to the combined effect of flexural and axial loadings. Adoption of a rational approach reflecting the impacts of eccentric loadings on the stress–strain relationship of the fiber-reinforced polymer-confined concrete revealed a much better evaluation of the load-carrying capacity of both reinforced concrete rectangular columns and plain concrete square columns under the effect of axial loads with various eccentricities.

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.

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites have been widely used to design fiber-reinforced polymer–based confined concrete columns with potential benefits. However, it is critical to design a column with sufficient post-peak performance that can prevent its collapse at the rupture of the fiber-reinforced polymer tube. This article presents the experimental results on the prior and post peaks behavior of concrete-filled double-skin tubular columns with basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP)–punched-in outer steel and BFRP-circular inner steel (BFST-DSTCs). Twenty-two specimens were tested under axial compression to investigate the effects of design parameters on the behavior of the BFST-DSTC. The outcomes reveal that the BFST-DSTC exhibits the best performance in terms of load capacity, confinement ratio, failure and damage mechanisms, and ductility in prior and post peaks. The inner fiber-reinforced polymer jacket delays the buckling of the inner tube. The punched-in patterns of the outer steel improve the confinement effectiveness of the fiber-reinforced polymer jacket. The BFST-DSTC displays a good post-peak performance with high-energy dissipation capacity that prevents the concerned structure from collapse after the fiber-reinforced polymer jacket rupture. Finally, a new confinement model is proposed to predict the ultimate point of the confined concrete.
