Study on the Behaviour of Nano Concrete Columns Wrapped with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer under Axial Load

Abstract

Abstract: An emerging field in materials science and engineering called nano science and technology is providing the framework for the creation of new technological materials. Numerous scientific and technical fields make use of nanotechnology. Concrete constructed from materials with nanoscale particle sizes is a unique type of concrete. A nanoscale has a range of 1 to 100 nanometers. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. Fiber reinforced polymers have shown to be an effective substitute for modernizing and repairing damaged infrastructures. The failure trend may be caused by modifications to faulty design and construction practices. Glass fiber reinforced polymer wraps or laminates have shown to be a more effective solution for infrastructure applications. This study examined conventional columns, nano concrete columns, and nano concrete columns encased in glass fiber reinforced polymer under axial loads. In this study, three different kinds of concrete columns were utilized to evaluate the strength of concrete when various concentrations of nanosilica were applied. This experiment uses glass fiber reinforced polymer as its wrapping material.
