Experimental Study on Compressive Behavior of CFRP Confined Concrete Columns

Article Preview

Abstract:

Compressive tests of 30 concrete column specimens with three concrete strength grades are carried out in this paper to study ultimate compressive strength of specimens. The specimens are divided into three groups, that is, unconfined, confined by CFRP with no initial compression and confined by CFRP with various initial compressions. The different initial compressions’ influence on ultimate stresses and strains are investigated. The decrease of CFRP reinforcing effect due to pre-compression are analyzed. The research results provide experimental datum for reinforced design of existing concrete columns.
