Review Study on the Durability of FRP-Confined Concrete

AbstractThe use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites has recently experienced a steep increase in civil engineering applications because of the high mechanical and low-density properties of such materials. Over the last few decades, concrete columns externally confined with FRP sheets have been widely investigated for their use in structural rehabilitation and the seismic strengthening of civil constructions. There is much scientific literature based on experimental results and analytical or empirical theoretical models. In fact, several numerical models and analytical procedures are able to predict the behavior of FRP-confined structural elements subjected to axial or seismic loads, and researchers worldwide have experimentally studied and analytically calibrated a wide range of significant variables. Nevertheless, there are still few results concerning the durability of FRP-confined concrete exposed to severe environmental conditions, despite being an important issue in design and safety assessm...
