Abstract
E-glass woven roving (WR), combined with chopped strand mat (CSM), glass fibre tape (GFT) and a vinyl-ester resin, was used to restrain concrete columns using a wrapping procedure with different architectures. The results indicate that great reinforcing efficiency can be obtained through tailoring the architectures of composite jackets. An experimental study on the retrofitting efficiency of damaged concrete columns was also conducted, using a group of damaged concrete columns wrapped with the composite jackets. The results show that the original load-carrying capacity can be restored with a large ultimate displacement for the damaged concrete columns.
