Faculty of Engineering - Papers (Archive)

Different behaviour of diverse sections of confined Reinforced Concrete (RC) columns under eccentric load is investigated in this study. Three types of sections are considered, which include square columns, square with rounded corners and modified circular columns. Twelve reinforced square concrete columns were made from normal strength concrete and subdivided into four groups. The first three columns were the Reference Group and had no modification.The next three columnswere modified with round corners and wrapped with three layers of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP), another three were bonded with four pieces of segmental circular concrete covers and wrapped with three layers …
