Pre-Load Effect on CFRP-Confinement of Concrete Columns: Experimental and Theoretical Study

The axial compression strength of concrete columns has been proved to be significantly enhanced by external confinement. In this perspective, the use of Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) has been extensively studied. In practical applications, the FRP-confinement is installed on loaded columns, which...
