Performance Enhancement of Steel Columns Using Concrete-Filled Composite Jackets
Abstract
This paper studies the cross-sectional behavior of steel columns strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs). The composite column is constructed by wrapping the steel I-section column with epoxy-saturated glass- and carbon-FRPs (GFRP and CFRP) sheets in the transverse direction and subsequently filling the voids between the FRP and the steel with concrete. Experimental tests were performed on stub columns under axial compression …
