Abstract:
This paper presents the axial behavior of cylindrical concrete
with variable cross sections confined by carbon fiber-reinforced
polymer (CFRP) sheets. The test specimens are classified into
three conformational categories: right angles (Type 1), truncated
cones (Types 2 and 3), and barrels (Types 4 and 5), which are
subjected to a preload level of 0%fc′, 30%fc′, and 60%fc′ (fc′ is the
compressive strength of plain concrete) for the representation of
existing damage in core concrete prior to wrapping with CFRP.
The average capacity of the confined concrete in Type 1 is 106%
higher than that of its unconfined counterpart. With an increase in
the taper angle, the axial resistance of Types 2 and 3 is improved
due to the enlarged base areas; however, the expanded bellies
along the height of Types 4 and 5 lower the capacity by reducing
the confining pressure of the CFRP sheets. Although the adverse
effects of the preloading are evident in the context of reserved
reliability and damage evolution, the validity of the confinement
system is preserved from a strengthening standpoint. The geometric
attributes dominate the load-displacement relationships, post-peak
deformations, energy dissipation, and failure characteristics of the
specimens. Analytical modeling clarifies that, compared with other
parameters, the thickness of CFRP is the salient factor influencing the confining pressure of the system. According to the principle of energy conservation, a simplified design proposal is suggested to calculate the strength of the confined nonprismatic concrete.
