Abstract: Concrete members strengthened by fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) are increasingly becoming a popular retrofit technique in recent years due to the excellent material properties, convenient and easy construction methods, and outstanding strengthening effect. However, fundamental researches are incomplete; especially the characteristics research of square cross-section of FRP confined concrete has become a major obstacle for the development of further research and application. Therefore, the better understanding of the behavior of confined concrete becomes of paramount importance. A total of 10 concrete columns, which were reinforced with CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced polymer) and with filleted square sections, were fabricated and tested subjected to axial load to investigate the mechanical properties of FRP confined concrete. The mechanical behavior of FRP confined concrete has been further understood and some useful conclusions are obtained.

The inherent defects of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) include the complex interfacial transition zone (ITZ) and the many micro-cracks that appear during its producing process, which result in some inferior mechanical properties compared with natural aggregate concrete (NAC). This drawback usually prevents RAC from being selected for structural purposes. Existing research has shown that the strength and ductility of damaged concrete in compression members can be significantly enhanced through external confinement using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wraps. This application has been widely used in concrete structural repair and retrofitting technology. However, research on the effects of RAC damage coupled with different load damage conditions is rare, as is information on the mechanical properties of RAC reinforced with FRP jackets. This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the behavior of pre-damaged recycled aggregate concrete cylinders that were repaired with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) or large rupture strain (LRS)-FRP jackets. Tests were conducted on 58 concrete cylinders with variations in the replacement ratio, damage levels, and FRP properties. Test results demonstrated that the ultimate strain and strength of damaged recycled aggregate concrete could be significantly enhanced by FRP jackets and that aggregate quality plays a vital role in the strength of confined concrete. Also, the energy absorption of CFRP- and LRS-FRP-confined RAC were evaluated. The analysis indicated that, compared with CFRP-confined RAC, LRS-FRP can greatly improve the energy absorption capacity of RAC; thus, LRS-FRP confined concrete has a good potential to achieve a ductile design for concrete columns, especially when used in seismic reinforcement.
