Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer, Long Columns, Retrofitting, Strengthening

Retrofitting of structural members has been a common practice for long time now. In this regard, retrofitting and strengthening of columns has been done since a long time. Keeping aside the conventional methods such as steel jacketing, this paper focuses on the use of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Sheets for increasing the strength and life of long columns. Long columns have a tendency to fail due to bending. Our work emphasizes on the significance of CFRP sheets if it can delay or avoid bending failure. In this work it was found that the strength of long columns specimens was enhanced up by 124.5%, if doubly wrapped by CFRP using epoxy adhesive and resin. The columns were wrapped in different percentage of their surface area such as 0%, 65%, 100% and 200% (or doubly wrapped). CFRP used negligible space in comparison to other conventional methods which adds up to the pro of carbon fibers sheets. Also the failure pattern suggests that the failure occurred at the supports indicating avoidance of failure due to bending.
