Experimental Study of AFRP-Confined Square and Circular Concrete Columns Using Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors

Abstract:

An experimental investigation on square and circular high-strength concrete short columns confined with aramid fiber-reinforced polymer (AFRP) sheets was conducted in this study. Fiber Bragg grating sensors have been applied successfully in monitoring of the strains of the AFRP-confined square and circular concrete columns. The experimental results demonstrate that two types of axial force-strain curves were observed depending on the form of the column. Results show fiber Bragg grating sensors have good repeatability and the ultimate load of the circular concrete column is larger than that of the square concrete column. The interlaminar strains of AFRP and high-strength concrete have also been attained. It helps to analyze the constraint effect of the concrete column and compute the ultimate load of the square and circular concrete column.
