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 …

This paper presents results of testing twelve hollow square reinforced concrete specimens wrapped with Carbon fibre reinforced polymer CFRP. The effect of ply configuration on the behaviour of the specimens is investigated. All specimens were 800mm high and had the dimensions of 200mm×200mm in cross-section and a hollow core of 80mm×80 mm. The specimens were divided into four groups with three specimens each. The specimens in the first group without bonding CFRP served as references. While the remaining three groups of specimens were externally wrapped with CFRP in three different ply configurations of hoop, vertical and 45◦ angle with reference …
