This research investigates the behavior of square concrete columns externally wrapped by low-cost and easily available fiber rope reinforced polymer (FRRP) composites. This study mainly aims to explore the axial stress-strain relationships of FRRP-confined square columns. Another objective is to assess suitable predictive models for the ultimate strength and strain of FRRP-confined square columns. A total of 60 square concrete columns were cast, strengthened, and tested under compression. The parameters were the corner radii of square columns (0, 13, and 26 mm) and different materials of FRRP composites (polyester, hemp, and cotton FRRP composites). The strength and deformability of FRRP-confined specimens were observed to be higher than the unconfined specimens. It was observed that strength gains of FRRP-confined concrete columns and corner radii were directly proportional. The accuracy of ultimate strength and strain models developed for synthetic FRRP-confined square columns was assessed using the test results of this study, showing the need for the development of improved predictive models for FRRP-confined square columns. Newly developed unified models were found to be accurate in predicting the ultimate strength and strain of FRRP-confined columns.

Due to the influence of “arching action” in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) partially confined concrete columns as a result of the unconfined regions, the confinement of the concrete columns wrapped with discrete FRP strips is less efficient when compared with full wrapping schemes. This study comprehensively investigates the difference of the the confinement mechanism between fully and partially FRP confined circular normal-strength concrete and thus presents a new design-oriented model to predict the stress–strain relationships of partially FRP confined normal-strength concrete. The formulas used to determine the strength and corresponding strain of several key points on the stress–strain curves are also proposed by the regression analysis according to a reliable test database from the relevant literature. Besides, another selected database including 100 FRP partially wrapped circular concrete columns is also collected for model verification. The results show that better performance can be achieved by the new model compared with the selected models in predicting the ultimate conditions of partially FRP confined concrete. Finally, some specimens are chosen to assess the performance of the new model in predicting the complete axial stress–strain curves. The comparisons reveal that satisfactory accuracy and good agreement can be achieved between the theoretical predictions and experimental observations.

Defects between fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) and repaired concrete components may easily come out due to misoperation during manufacturing, environmental deterioration, or impact from external load during service life. The defects may cause a degraded structure performance and even the unexpected structural failure. Different non-destructive techniques (NDTs) and sensors have been developed to assess the defects in FRP bonded system. The information of linking up the detected defects by NDTs and repair schemes is needed by assessing the criticality of detected defects. In this study, FRP confined concrete columns with interfacial defects were experimentally tested to determine the interfacial defect criticality on structural performance. It is found that interfacial defect can reduce the FRP confinement effectiveness, and ultimate strength and its corresponding strain of column deteriorate significantly if the interfacial defect area is larger than 50% of total confinement area. Meanwhile, proposed analytical model considering the defect ratio is validated for the prediction of stress–strain behavior of FRP confined columns. The evaluation of defect criticality could be made by comparing predicted stress–strain behavior with the original design to determine corresponding maintenance strategies.

Kevlar® KM2 fiber is a transversely isotropic material. Its tensile stress-strain response in the axial direction is linear and elastic until failure. However, the overall deformation in the transverse directions is nonlinear and nonelastic, although it can be treated linearly and elastically in infinitesimal strain range. For a linear, elastic, and transversely isotropic material, five material constants are needed to describe its stress-strain response. In this paper, stress-strain behavior obtained from experiments on a single Kevlar KM2 fiber are presented and discussed. The effects of loading rate and the influence of axial loading on transverse and transverse loading on axial stress-strain responses are also discussed.

Actively Confined Concrete

It is well established that lateral confinement of concrete enhances its axial strength and deformability. It is often assumed that, at a same level of confining pressure, the axial compressive stress and strain of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined concrete at a given lateral strain are the same as those in concrete actively confined concrete. To assess the validity of this assumption, an experimental program relating both types of confinement systems was conducted. 25 FRP-confined and actively confined high-strength concrete (HSC) specimens cast from a same batch of concrete were tested under axial compression. The axial stress-strain and lateral strain-axial strain curves obtained from the two different confinement systems were assessed. The results indicate that, at a given axial strain, lateral strains of actively confined and FRP-confined concretes correspond, when they are subjected to the same lateral confining pressure. However, it is observed that, at these points of intersections on axial strain-lateral strain curves, FRP-confined concrete exhibits a lower axial stress than the actively confined concrete, indicating that the aforementioned assumption is not accurate. The test results indicate that the difference in the axial stresses of FRP-confined and actively confined HSC becomes more significant with an increase in the level of confining pressure.
