Analytical modeling of concrete columns confined by FRP
FRP-encased concrete columns benefit from a confining effect due to the restraint of the lateral expansion. This effect increases the strength and the ductility of the concrete inside the FRP shell. A number of empirical models predicting the behaviour of steel- and FRP-confined concrete have been...
