Study of Glass Fibre Wrapped Concrete Column under Axial Compression

Abstract

Fibre-Wrapping using Fibre-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) shells is one of effective methods, significantly enhances the strength and ductility of concrete columns. The analysis is based on the behavior of the GFRP wrapped concrete columns under uniaxial compression. The compressive strength characteristics will consider for the study. The cross section of the concrete columns will be circular with diameter of 150mm and height 300mm. The strength determination is done experimentally and the results are verified by analytical method using ANSYS Civil FEM.
