Abstract:ResumoThis paper develops a comparative analysis of the main design models used for predicting the strengthening of reinforced concrete columns subjected to uniaxial compression. The study evaluated four strengthening design models with concrete jackets and eleven strengthening design models with wrapping in Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). All models consider the effect of confinement provided by the transverse steel reinforcement and the CFRP sheet wrapping on the gain in resistance of the column. For… Show more
