Highlights
Reinforced concrete (RC) columns are critical elements of any structural system
The enhancement of RC columns strength, ductility, and overall behavior is related to the number and type of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) layers, the cross-sectional shape of the column, and the eccentricity ratio (e/h) of the applied load where e is the applied eccentricity in a specific direction and h is the width of the specimen cross section in the same direction as the applied eccentricity
This paper aims to investigate the use of near-surface mounted (NSM)-carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips with CFRP fabric confinement as a strengthening technique for RC columns under combined axial compression and uniaxial bending with different eccentricity ratios
Summary
Reinforced concrete (RC) columns are critical elements of any structural system. RC members deteriorate over time due to many factors. The hoop confinement provided in concentrically and eccentrically loaded RC columns enhances the load-carrying capacity and ductility to a point that depends on the applied eccentricity ratio This motivated researchers to focus on the provision of flexural improvement to RC columns using longitudinal CFRP laminates, composite sheets, or both. This paper aims to investigate the use of NSM-CFRP strips with CFRP fabric confinement as a strengthening technique for RC columns under combined axial compression and uniaxial bending with different eccentricity ratios. Each corbel was capped with a 40 mm thick steel plate to avoid any stress concentration and premature failure at the loading point
