| Abstract: | "Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) jacketing of Reinforced Concrete (RC) columns, as a rapidly growing strengthening technique, requires appropriate design methods. However, the current available design guides are based on models, in their majority semi-empirical, and calibrated with small-scale plain concrete specimens. These models might not be reliable in predicting the strength and ductility enhancement sought through FRP-confinement in RC columns with geometric and material properties as found in practice. This dissertation presents the research conducted in three technical papers. In the first paper, the performance of 22 FRP-wrapped RC columns of medium- and large-scale is studied. The results of the experimental campaign were used to develop and evaluate an analytical method to determine the confining pressure and compressive capacity in a non-circular column...A second paper is devoted to the review of state-of-the-art design methodologies available for the case of FRP-confined RC columns, and their ability to predict the increment of compressive strength and ductility...a third paper address the subject of FRP-confined RC columns subjected to combined axial load and bending moment"--Abstract, p. iv. | |
