SOME PARAMETERS AFFECTING THE STATIC BEHAVIOR OF NORMAL STRENGTH RECTANGULAR R.C. SHORT COLUMNS CONFINED BY CFRP
Changing social needs, upgrading of design standards, increasing safety requirements and deterioration are some of the reasons that make the existing reinforced concrete structure ( such as bridges and buildings) need to be strengthened or repaired . Over the past several years, there has been a concerned research efforts to explore the strengthening effect of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) laminates applied to reinforced concrete columns under centric loading . So, the main objective of this work is to identify the main parameters affecting the mechanical behavior of confined rectangular R.C. columns such as the confinement level and rectangularity ratio (t/b ratio) . The efficiency of externally bonded CFRP of rectangular R.C. columns is declared and evaluated . [1,2,3].
