FEM Analysis on Concrete Column Confined by Straps of BFRP Sheets

Abstract:

More attention has been paid on the technology of BFRP in civil engineering due to it’s unique properties, such as high strength-to-weight radio, good resistance to corrosion and convenient to construction. In order to study the properties of BFRP sheets confined concrete column ,we did it through three groups of columns subjected to axial loading tests and FEM analyses, mainly considering the effect of spacing of straps of BFRP sheets confining concrete column.The results shows that the axial compressive strength and ductility of concrete column winded by BFRP straps have all increased and the process of destruction of concrete column wrapped by BFRP is longer than that of the unconfined concrete column.
