Review of Design Guidelines for FRP Confinement of Reinforced Concrete Columns of Noncircular Cross Sections

Current international design guidelines provide predictive design equations for the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) columns of both circular and prismatic cross sections by means of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) confinement and subjected to pure axial loading. Extensive studies (experimental and analytical) have been conducted on columns with circular cross sections, and limited studies have been conducted on members with noncircular cross sections. In fact, the majority of available research work has been on small-scale, plain concrete specimens. In this review paper, four design guidelines are introduced, and a comparative study is presented. This study is based on the increment of concrete compressive strength and ductility and includes the experimental results from six RC columns of different cross-sectional shapes. The observed outcomes are used to identify and remark upon the limits beyond the ones specifically stated by each of the guides and that reflect the absence of effects not consi...
