Abstract

FRP is a composite material used to strengthen the concrete members. Concrete with two different exposure conditions and number of layers of wrapping are studied. Results from a series of an experimental study on small scale cylinders showed that confinement effect increased the strength from 67% to 150% for 1, 2 & 3 numbers of layers of GFRP wraps. Temperature effect decreases the compressive strength of concretes from 6% to 18% to the wrapped concrete. Exposure temperature and strength reduction on concretes are directly proportional to one another.
