Experimental Behavior of Concrete Cylinders Confined with CFRP Composites
Abstract eng: This paper presents the results of experimental studies about concrete cylinders confined with high-strength carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. Forty small scale specimens (150×300 mm) were subjected to uniaxial compression up to failure and stress-strain behaviors were recorded. The various parameters such as wrap thickness and fiber orientation were considered. Different wrap thicknesses (1, 2, 3, and 4 layers), fiber orientation of 0o, 90o, ±45o and combinations of them were investigated. The results demonstrated significant enhancement in the compressive strength, stiffness, and ductility of the CFRP-wrapped concrete cylinders as compared to unconfined concrete cylinders.
