Abstract
An analytical stress–strain model is developed for predicting the compressive behavior of elliptical and circular fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined concrete members. The model is based on a diagonal Poisson’s ratio formulation expressed as a function of the mechanical properties of the unconfined concrete and confining FRP jacket, the geometry of the concrete section, and the extent of internal damage in the confined concrete core. A Mohr–Coulomb yield criterion is introduced for analysis of the compressive behavior of confined concrete. Equilibrium and strain compatibility are used to obtain the ultimate compressive strength and strain of elliptical and circular FRP-confined concrete sections as a function of the effective confining stiffness of the FRP jacket. A simplified expression is derived for the FRP reinforcement ratio which precludes strain softening in elliptical and circular FRP-confined concrete sections.
