Non-linear finite element analysis of circular reinforced concrete columns retrofitted by steel jackets


Abstract eng:
This paper after a review of confinement methods for strengthening reinforced concrete structures uses a finite element technique to study the nonlinear behavior of circular reinforced concrete retrofitted with steel jackets under cyclic loading. Optimal thicknesses of the steel jackets are obtained and tabulated according to the geometry of columns. The numerical results are compared to experimental results of Priestley et al (1996) and Hwang and Kuo (2000).
