In this study, parameters affecting the mechanical properties of FRP-confined cylindrical and prismatic concrete columns were studied via experimental data, which were collected after an extensive literature review.
Experimental evaluation on FRP-confined concrete specimens has shown that their stress-strain behavior is significantly affected by many parameters such as, concrete strength and mechanical properties of FRP.
In this study, firstly, parameters affecting the mechanical properties and stress-strain behavior of FRP-confined concrete are discussed, which were collected after an extensive literature review.
Since strength of a confined concrete specimen is affected by sustained stress level, environmental exposure and temperature changes, those parameters were taken into account by correction factors.
From these parameters, unconfined concrete strength, number of FRP layers (FRP thickness), mechanical properties of FRP material and the corner radius in prismatic specimens were found to be more influential on the confinement effectiveness.
