Carbon fibre-reinforced polymer confinement of corroded circular concrete columns

Corrosion is a major cause of deterioration and cracking in reinforced concrete (RC) members and leads to a significant reduction in their structural capacity and service life. The rehabilitation of damaged RC members using carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) is a viable and cost-effective method. This study evaluates the effectiveness of CFRP wrapping of corroded circular RC columns. Four sets of scaled columns were fabricated and subjected...
