Seismic Rehabilitation of Reinforced Concrete Columns with Fiber Reinforcement Polymers (FRP), M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kazemi, Mohammad Taghi (Supervisor)
Abstract
Previous researches has established that retrofitting RC (reinforced concrete) columns with FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) jackets is an effective means of providing external confinement to the column cross section. In an effort to evaluate FRP jacketing technology, this study focused on the confinement effectiveness of FRP jackets for rectangular building-type RC columns. Variables investigated include the following: the type of fibers (AFRP, CFRP), the thickness of the jacket, the shape (rectangular or circular) and aspect ratio of the cross section, and the sharpness of the corners of the rectangular cross sections. The sample structures were designed initially without lateral forces and...
