Frp Confined Reinforced Concrete Circular Cross Section Seismic Applications, Jeffrey G. Lyon

Master's Theses

In recent earthquakes, structures have not performed as well as expected resulting in a need for better means of retrofitting and improvements in seismic design. Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP), as a material with potential to increase strength and ductility of columns in conjunction with capacity design methodology, has promise for seismic design. By investigating the displacement, ductility, and flexural strength properties of FRP confined reinforced concrete circular cross sections, this study analyzes the seismic applications of FRP confinement.

The study is performed by incorporating an FRP confined concrete stress-strain model into a developed Moment-Curvature and PM Interaction software. This software …

Behaviour Of Eccentric Loading Of Frp Confined Fibre Steel Reinforced Concrete Columns, Muhammad N. S Hadi

Faculty of Engineering - Papers (Archive)

This paper presents results of testing 16 specimens, 12 of which as columns under different eccentricitiesand four as beams under four point loading regime. All 16 specimens were circular in cross section andwere made of reinforced concrete. Four specimens served as reference specimens and were just made ofreinforced concrete. The next four specimens were wrapped with carbon fibre reinforced polymers(CFRP). The next four specimens had steel fibres added to the concrete. The final four specimens werereinforced with steel fibres and wrapped with CFRP. From each group of specimens, one specimen wastested as a column under a concentric load, the second …
