Abstract

Repair, retrofitting and rehabilitation of existing concrete structures have become a large part of the construction activity worldwide. The strengthening of existing reinforced concrete columns using steel or fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) jacketing is based on well-established fact that lateral confinement of concrete can substantially enhance its compressive strength. In recent years, external confinement of concrete using FRP composite has emerged as a popular method of column strengthening. Many researchers carried out various experiments with different changing parameters. This paper presents review of GFRP composites and adhesives, influence of dimension of columns, type of FRP sheets, and no. of layers, their configuration, failure type, and stress vs strain behaviour of RC column under axial loading.
