Recent advancements in the fields of fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) have resulted in the development of new materials with great potential for applications in civil engineering structures, and due to extensive research over recent years, FRPs are now being considered for the design of new structures. This study describes how carbon fiber reinforced polymer jackets can be used to reinforce circular concrete columns. Fibers aligned in the circumferential direction provide axial and shear strength to the concrete, while fibers aligned in the longitudinal direction provide flexural reinforcement. Prefabricated FRP jackets or tubes would also provide the formwork for the columns, resulting in a decrease in labor and materials required for construction. Also, the enhanced behavior of FRP jacketed concrete columns could allow the use of smaller sections than would be required for conventionally reinforced concrete columns. Furthermore, FRP jacket reinforced concrete columns would be more durable than conventionally reinforced concrete columns and therefore would require less maintenance and have longer service life.Key words: bridge, carbon, column, concrete, confinement, fiber reinforced polymer, jacket, retrofitting, seismic, strengthening.

This paper studies the effects of the behavior of normal strength rectangular concrete (NSC) columns confined by carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. Six reinforced concrete columns with dimensions (100mmx100mmx900mm) have been cast and tested. These specimens were subjected to pure axial compressive loading up to failure. Included in the study is the influence of three parameters. Those parameters are the CFRP distribution (5 strips and full wrapping), column slenderness ratio (40, 30), and steel reinforcement ratio (ρ = 0.0113, 0.0314, 0.0678). Those results show a high enhancement in the columns’ load capacity for the first cracking load and the ultimate load for all of the columns.

The Impact

This paper studies the effects of the behavior of normal strength square concrete (NSC) columns confined by carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. Six reinforced concrete columns of dimensions (100mmx100mmx1200mm) have been casted and tested, those samples have been subjected to uniaxial compression load (eccentricity=0.5b) up to failure. Included the study the impact of three parameters which are the CFRP distribution (5 strips and fully wrapping), column slenderness ratio (40, 30) and steel reinforcement ratio (ρ= 0.0113, 0.0314, 0.0678). Those results showed high improvements in the columns’ load capacity of cracking and ultimate load for all the columns.

In this research, different techniques of repair of deficient reinforced concrete columns are compared. These include carbon fiber–reinforced polymer sheets, steel jackets, and reinforced concrete jackets. The experimental investigation includes testing of 16 deficient columns of dimensions 150 × 150 × 800 mm subjected to concentric and eccentric loading up to failure. Two main variables are considered: the load eccentricity and the strengthening technique. The experimental results showed that the three strengthening techniques used in this research significantly improved the ultimate load carrying capacity in all cases of loading. Also, in the two cases of concentric loading and big eccentricity of 150 mm, carbon fiber–reinforced polymer wrapping achieved the highest ductility and absorbed energy capacity. In addition, strengthening with reinforced concrete jacket improved the initial stiffness and toughness. The cracking load, ultimate load, and ductility of the deficient columns after strengthening were experimentally recorded and compared. The results can help the structural engineer to consider the most efficient method of repair for such columns.
