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.

Most experimental studies concerning the stress-strain behavior of concrete columns confined with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) focused on plain concrete columns with small section. In this study, 34 concrete columns with large-scale circular and square cross section confined with CFRP were tested under axial compression to investigate the influence of sectional dimensions, internal steel reinforcement and thickness of CFRP jackets on the stress-strain behaviors. Test results indicated that the confinement of CFRP resulted in significant increase in axial stress and strain for circular RC columns, while remarkable enhancement in axial strain but slightly in axial stress for square RC columns. The stress-strain responses of CFRP-confined square RC columns were significantly influenced by sectional dimensions and internal transverse reinforcement. The typical confinement ratio, which is obtained from studies on CFRP-confined unreinforced concrete columns with small cross sections, was not applicable for the case of large-scale square RC columns.

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.
