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.

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.

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.

There are many studies on fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined pre-damaged concrete under quasi-static strain rates. However, few studies have focused on FRP-confined pre-damaged concrete under high strain rates. Thus, an experimental and analytical investigation was conducted to obtain the mechanical behavior of FRP-confined pre-damaged concrete under different strain rates. The results show that the stress–strain curves, ultimate stress, and strain values were affected by strain rate and the extent of concrete damage. A stress–strain model of FRP-confined pre-damaged concrete considering the strain rate was developed by modifying a stress–strain model of FRP-confined pre-damaged concrete under quasi-static loading. The proposed model was evaluated by using test data. The evaluation results show that the proposed model can predict the stress–strain behavior of FRP-confined pre-damaged concrete under different strain rates.
