Seismic Performance of RC Short Columns Strengthened with BFRP

Abstract:

BFRP has excellent strength, durability, thermal properties and economic cost. To test seismic performance of short columns strengthened with BFRP. Low cyclic loading test was conducted on one comparative short column and two RC short columns strengthened with BFRP. The test shows that short columns warped by BFRP show excellent failure modes, shear capacity, ductility and energy dissipation. As a new fiber reinforced plastic, BFRP has a good prospect in the area of seismic strengthening for its low cost and comprehensive mechanical properties.
