Introduction Research Objective & Significance Literature Review Experimental Setup Discussion of Results Conclusion Literature Review v. A. Mirmiran, M. Shahawy, M. Samaan, H. El Echary, J. C. Mastrapa, and O. Pico (1998) v. Studied the effect of Shape, Length, and Bond between the concrete and the jacket. v. Eccentric Loading v. More than 100 samples were casted (Cylinders and Square columns) v. GFRP v. Conclusion v. Square sections are less effective than Circular sections v. Effect of length–to-diameter ratios within the range of 2: 1 and 5: 1 is not significant for either strength or ductility of the section v. Adhesive bond does not effect load-carrying capacity of FRP-confined concrete.

Introduction Research Objective & Significance Literature Review Experimental Setup Discussion of Results Conclusion Literature Review v. P. Rochette and P. Labossiere (2000) v. Studied the behaviour reinforced concrete columns reinforced confined with composites v. Axial Loading v. More than 40 specimens v. CFRP and GFRP v. Conclusion v. Confinement of Circular is more effective than Square and Rectangular. v. The Radius of the round corner is directly proportional with the effective of the confinement. v. Excessive confinement will lead to very sudden and destructive compressive failure, which must be avoided.

Introduction Research Objective & Significance Literature Review Experimental Setup Discussion of Results Conclusion Literature Review v. Omar Chaallal, Mohsen Shahawy, and Hunzer Hassan (2003) v. Study the effectiveness of external wrapping for concrete columns v. Parameters involved: v. Concrete strength v. Aspect ratio of cross section v. Number of FRP layers v. Axial Loading v. Square and Rectangular section v. CFRP v 30 samples v. Conclusion v. CFRP confinement showed improvement in strength and ductility v. Compressive strength is inversely proportional with the axial and transverse strain. vthe gain in the compressive strength depends on the ratio of the stiffness of the FRP jacket in the lateral direction to the axial stiffness of the column

Investigate the mechanical behaviour of columns with partial deteriorated strength and to evaluate the availability of the partial confinement. v. Parameters involved: v. Concrete strength v. Number of wrapping layers v. Plain vs. Reinforced concrete v. Axial Loading v. Square section v. CFRP v 30 samples (15 Plain vs. 15 Reinforced) v. Conclusion v. Partial confinement in deteriorated regions with CFRP can significantly enhance the performance of columns. v. The ductility of confined specimens was enhanced significantly compared to the partial deteriorated column as well as the original column.

Introduction Research Objective & Significance Literature Review Experimental Setup Discussion of Results Conclusion •

Introduction Research Objective & Significance Literature Review Experimental Setup Discussion of Results Conclusion • The external confinement with CFRP or GFRP materials has increased the load and ductility of the normal and under designed specimen under axial loading. • The results of the materials tested showed that CFRP materials has produced the largest lateral confinement pressure to column specimens. However, GFRP materials has produced enhancements in ductility. • Excessive confinement will lead to very sudden and destructive compressive failures, which must be avoided. • Externally confined concrete column could undergo large deformation without complete failure.
