The Effects of Loading Rate and Duration on the Axial Behavior of Low-Strength and Medium-Strength Noncircular Concrete Members Confined by Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Sheets

In this study, 36 concrete specimens with square cross-sections and different concrete qualities were tested either under uniaxial compression at different loading rates or subjected to sustained uniaxial stresses after externally jacketing with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. The ma...
