The Comparative Study

12 RC columns were made, including nine RC columns wrapped with BFRP, three RC columns without any reinforcement, to conduct the comparative study of axial compression. The result shows that the bearing capacity of the RC columns reinforced with the fibers increases obviously.The displacement ductility factor increases, but its increase rate becomes slow with increasing layers of fiber cloth, so the most economical layer number is 3. Based on the confinement mechanism of FRP cloth and the calculation formula of the bearing capacity for common RC column, the formula of the bearing capacity for reinforced RC column with BFRP cloth is proposed. The result of calculation basically tallies with the number in experiment.

Load Effects

A major difficulty in reliability analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) columns subjected to both axial compression and bending moments is the interaction between strength of bending and axial compression. In particular, the limit state function cannot be explicitly expressed due to this interaction. This paper analyzes the correlation between load effects. Given the calibration point, a mathematical expression for the load correlation, rMN, in terms of eccentricity of dead load and live load, eG and eQ, is established, which physically clarifies the relationship of rMN with load path. Given the ratio of eccentricity k = eG/eQ and the ratio of load effects r, the reliability analysis for RC columns with considering the correlation between load effects can be analyzed by using the correlation relationship proposed in this study and FORM method. This study provides an effective and practical approach to the reliability analysis.
