Abstract
Mechanical property and constraint mechanism of concrete cylinders confined by TRC under uniaxial compression is analyzed. 24 concrete cylinders confined by TRC and 8 unconfined concrete cylinders are loaded under uniaxial compression to investigate the performance based on textile ratio, section dimension and strength of concrete. Based on the test results, stress process and failure mechanism of strengthened members is studied, stress-strain relationship of strengthened members is researched, effect of ratio of textile reinforcement, section dimension and concrete strength on ultimate strength of strengthened members is also evaluated. The results show strengthened members showed increasing in strength and deformation. Strengthened members showed drum-shaped shear damage. With the increasing of textile ratio, the confining effect of TRC on the concrete increases. With the increasing of section dimension, the confining effect of TRC on the concrete decreases. The confining effect of TRC on low strength concrete is stronger.
