Abstract

To match up the requirements of advanced infrastructure, better building materials and latest technologies are required. Due to increase in corrosion problem in RC structures the useful age of structure gets reduced. So to overcome this problem engineers all over the world are getting inclined towards fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) bars in place of steel bars. This paper presents the results of an analytical investigation done on the compressive behavior of concrete columns reinforced with steel, AFRP and CFRP bars. Nonlinear analysis of 9 column specimens is done using ANSYS software. The parameters investigated in this analysis includes reinforcement ratio, ultimate load bearing capacity and deformations. Also a comparative study is done amongst steel, AFRP and CFRP on the basis of these parameters.
