Extending the Life-Cycle of Reinforced Concrete Columns by FRP Strengthening
Publication: Structures Congress 2018: Bridges, Transportation Structures, and Nonbuilding Structures
ABSTRACT
There is an increasing importance of the topic of the extension of life-cycle of existing structures and infrastructures. This fact is corroborated by different reports, e.g. the 2013 ASCE Report Card for America’s Infrastructure. Three important elements are required in the extension of the life-cycle of structures and infrastructures: (i) the availability of repair/strengthening techniques for the specific problem under consideration; (ii) assessment of the effectiveness of the strengthening method; and (iii) implementation of strengthening techniques in design standards following semi-probabilistic formats. Concrete is the most used construction material in the world; as a result, among those structural elements in need of repair/strengthening are reinforced concrete (RC) columns. Utilization of FRP jackets in the confinement of RC columns has received large attention from both the academia and practitioners. In this paper we discuss a number of the issues related to this technique in the light of the three aforementioned requirements.
