Experimental Study on Behaviour of RC Column Confined by CFRP and Steel Fibre

Abstract:

12 RC columns specimens are divided 4 groups which have different eccentricities. Each group has 4 specimens, The first specimen was just made of reinforced concrete. The second was wrapped with 3 lays CFRP. The third had steel fibres added to it. The last was reinforced with steel fibres and wrapped with CFRP.The results showed that the introduction of fibres as well as wrapping the specimens with FRP improve the strength of concrete,especially its ductility.
