Analysis of Carbon Fiber Sheet Retrofitted RC Bridge Columns
Abstract eng: Experimental studies were conducted by some researchers to investigate the cyclic performance of CFSretrofitted columns; however there is a need to develop analytical methods which can simulate its hysteretic response. This study presents an analysis of the hysteretic behavior of CFS-retrofitted reinforced concrete circular columns. Fiber element analysis was conducted based on cyclic constitutive models of longitudinal reinforcement and concrete confined by both CFS and tie reinforcement. The analysis was verified based on available cyclic test data and analysis provides good agreement with the experimental results. Using the fiber element analysis, the effect of CFS retrofit on the seismic response of a prototype pier was also clarified.
