Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper is concerned with the effects of column size, carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) volumetric ratio, column side to corner radius ratio and column side aspect ratio on the confinement efficiency of rectangular concrete columns confined with CFRP. The confined concrete nonlinear constitutive relationships are adopted which account for concrete under unequal lateral confining stresses under multiaxial stress conditions. A stiffness reduction procedure upon concrete cracking or crushing is also proposed. The finite element model is initially confirmed by comparing its numerical solutions with the experimental results for various parameters. The effects of above parameters on the peak strength and ultimate strain of the confined concrete are then parametrically studied. The test results and results of the parametric study indicate that the column axial compressive strength and ultimate strain increase with CFRP volumetric ratio, but decrease as the column side to corner radius ratio or the column side aspect ratio increases. For columns of a particular corner radius and CFRP volumetric ratio, the column axial compressive strength and ultimate strain decrease as column size and column side to corner radius ratio increases.
