A numerical analysis of compressive strength ofrnrectangular concrete columns confined by FRP

Huei-Jeng Lin, Chin-I Liao and Chin Yang

Abstract

This investigation presents an analysis procedure for simulating the compressive behavior of a rectangular concrete column confined by fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) under uniaxial load. That is, the entire stress-strain curve can be drawn through the present analysis procedure. The modified Mander
