Confinement Model for FRP-Confined High-Strength Concrete

It is well understood that confining concrete with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites can significantly enhance its strength and deformability. However, the confinement demand of concrete increases proportionally with its strength, resulting in higher confinement requirements for high-strength concrete (HSC). This paper reports on a study on the axial compressive behavior of FRP-confined HSC. A large experimental test database, which...
