“…Typical applications involve bonding FRP fabric sheets or precured shells around a column to provide additional confinement (see Figure 1(a)), thus enhancing the lap bond strength and preventing a premature splitting failure. In the last decades, extensive experimental research has confirmed the effectiveness of FRP confinement at improving the behaviour of RC members with inadequate short lapped bars (Aboutaha et al 1996, Saadatmanesh et al 1996, Saadatmanesh et al 1997b, Seible et al 1997, Tastani and Pantazopoulou 2001, Bousias et al 2006, Harries et al 2006, Ghosh and Sheikh 2007, Harajli and Dagher 2008, ElGawady et al 2010, Bournas and Triantafillou 2011. Due to the large number of parameters affecting the bond behaviour of lapped bars, different experimental and analytical approaches were adopted to evaluate the effectiveness of FRP confinement.…”

Externally bonded Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) confinement is extensively used to improve the bond strength of substandard lap spliced steel bars embedded in reinforced concrete (RC) components. However, the test results from bond tests on such bond-deficient components are not fully conclusive, which is reflected in the few design guidelines available for FRP strengthening. For the first time, this article presents a comprehensive survey on FRP strengthening of substandard lap-spliced RC members, with emphasis on the adopted experimental methodologies and analytical approaches developed to assess the effectiveness of FRP in controlling bond-splitting failures. The main findings and shortcomings of previous investigations are critically discussed and further research needs are identified. This review contributes towards the harmonisation of testing procedures so as to facilitate the development of more accurate predictive models, thus leading to more cost-effective strengthening interventions.

“…The CFRP jacket was chosen as the first repair technique due to the excellent high strength-to-weight ratio which is becoming increasingly attractive for structural repair/retrofit projects (Priestley et al 1996;Buckle et al 2006;He et al 2013;Grelle and Sneed 2013). The steel jacket was the first and the most widely used retrofit technique (Priestley et al 1996;Buckle et al 2006;ElGawady 2009;Fakharifar et al 2013;), due to its availability, price, and ductile behavior when compared with FRP materials with brittle failure (Fakharifar et al 2015c). However, in addition to the labor intense work required for steel plate or RC jacketing, one major concern, is the increase of the original cross section (i.e., increased stiffness and reduced natural vibration period (Haroun and Elsanadeby 2005) results in alteration of the system dynamic response).…”

“…While numerous studies have investigated the significance and efficacy of retrofit jackets application on RC bridge columns (Priestley et al 1996;Buckle et al 2006;Vosooghi and Saiidi 2012;Fakharifar et al 2014a;He et al 2013;ElGawady et al 2009;Saatcioglu and Yalcin 2003 amongst many others), this study is a preliminary attempt to investigate the efficacy of different repair jackets application on MS-damaged RC bridge piers subjected to AS attacks of multiple intensities. Study by Huang and Andrawes (2014) indicated very promising results that an improvement as high as 117 % in bridge overall performance subjected to real strong mainshock-aftershock sequences can be achieved through applying SMA confinement to piers.…”

Past earthquakes have signaled the increased collapse vulnerability of mainshock-damaged bridge piers and urgent need of repair interventions prior to subsequent cascading hazard events, such as aftershocks, triggered by the mainshock (MS). The overarching goal of this study is to quantify the collapse vulnerability of mainshock-damaged substandard RC bridge piers rehabilitated with different repair jackets (FRP, conventional thick steel and hybrid jacket) under aftershock (AS) attacks of various intensities. The efficacy of repair jackets on post-MS resilience of repaired bridges is quantified for a prototype two-span singlecolumn bridge bent with lap-splice deficiency at column-footing interface. Extensive number of incremental dynamic time history analyses on numerical finite element bridge models with deteriorating properties under back-to-back MS-AS sequences were utilized to evaluate the efficacy of different repair jackets on the post-repair behavior of RC bridges subjected to AS attacks. Results indicate the dramatic impact of repair jacket application on post-MS resilience of damaged bridge piers-up to 45.5 % increase of structural collapse capacity-subjected to aftershocks of multiple intensities. Besides, the efficacy of repair jackets is found to be proportionate to the intensity of AS attacks. Moreover, the steel jacket exhibited to be the most vulnerable repair intervention compared to CFRP, irrespective of the seismic sequence (severe MS-severe or moderate AS) or earthquake type (nearfault or far-fault).
