Abstract
The effectiveness of a new structural material, namely textile-reinforced mortar (TRM), was investigated experimentally in this study as a means of confining circular RC columns with two layers at different wrapping design. Four circular columns with size 600 mm height and 150 mm diameter were wrapped with glass fibre mesh at different types of wrapping design was prepared and tested under compression load. This study aims to establish an in- depth understanding on the effect of wrapping material and the design as a contributing factor in increment of load capacity. This research come into conclusion that wrapping the circular columns with TRM has increased the load capacity for the columns as compared to unwrapped columns, the best design is 100% wrapping with 14% increment in strength. Moreover, multiple researches have proven the efficacy of TRM wrapping design with different type of materials used in their studies. Based on the contemporaneity researches, this study was the first in term of studying the behaviour of circular RC column confined with various types of glass fibre design.
