Abstract
External confinement by CFS (Carbon Fiber Sheet) is a very effective retrofit method for the reinforced concrete columns subject to either static or seismic loads. For the reliable and cost-effective design of CFS, an accurate stress-strain model is required for CFS-confined concrete. In this paper, uniaxial compression test on short RC column with square section was performed. To evaluate the effect of confinement on the stress-strain relationship of CFS-confined concrete, CFS area ratio and tie area ratio are considered. Based on the experimental results, a stress-strain model is proposed for concrete confined by CFS wraps. In the development of the model, the method to compute the actual hoop strains in CFS jackets at the rupture was examined and resolved. Overall, the results of the model agree well with test data.
