Ductility improvement mechanism of concrete columns by wrapping of FRP sheets
Abstract
Authors propose an analytical model which can predict the ductility improvement of RC short columns retrofitted with FRP laminates. Using four different types of sheet with three levels of sheet amount, the experimental investigation was conducted concerning with ductility improvement, failure modes and peeling process of sheet. The investigation showed that the ductility improvement was greatly accomplished by the elongation capability of sheet. The test results are well simulated by the proposed model.
