Experimental investigation of two novel FRP retrofit schemes for strengthening steel columns
Abstract
Fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) are increasingly being used to retrofit structural members due to their low weight-to-strength ratio and corrosion resistance. Results from an experimental program conducted to evaluate two recently proposed techniques for retrofitting I-shape steel columns are presented. The first retrofit technique involves the construction of a steel-concrete column, which is subsequently wrapped with resin impregnated FRP …
