Analytical Model for Concrete Confined with Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite
Publication: Journal of Composites for Construction
Volume 8, Issue 4
Abstract
An analytical model to predict the behavior of concrete confined with fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composites subjected to axial compressive loads was developed. First, a constitutive model for plain concrete was formulated from past experimental results obtained from triaxial compression tests of concrete, in which concrete specimens were maintained under constant confining stresses. This was an orthotropic constitutive model based on the concept of equivalent uniaxial strain. Subsequently, in the analytical model for FRP confined concrete, the proposed constitutive model for concrete materials was incorporated. The FRP was assumed to be a linear elastic material. Force equilibrium and strain compatibility between the concrete and the FRP as well were satisfied. When the proposed model was applied to FRP confined concrete, the model overestimated the axial stress. To rectify this, a subsequent maximum strength criterion was introduced to control the maximum strength in the postpeak region when confining stress was continuously increased. The proposed analytical model with the addition of the subsequent maximum strength criterion is in good agreement with the experimental results.
