Strengthening of Columns with Different Innovative Composite Materials for RC Buildings without Sufficient Earthquake Resistance

Abstract

Reinforced-concrete columns were strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer and textile reinforced mortar. After that, these columns were subjected to axial load. Load-displacement measurement was taken during the experiment. Figure. Dimensions of test specimen and load-displacement graphics AimThe aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of CFRP and TRM in the strengthening of RC columns.
