Home/ How To Guide / Design of FRP Axial Strengthening of
RCC Columns -ACI 440.2R-08
FRP axial strengthening systems are used to
improve or enhance the capacity of reinforced
concrete columns. It can be used for both circular
and rectangular shaped columns but it is more
effective in the former shape.
In this article the design of FRP axial strengthening
system for columns is discussed.

Strengthening of RCC Columns
Advantages of FRP Axial Strengthening Systems for
Columns
Increases the ultimate load carrying capacity of
reinforced concrete member
Improves shear capacity of reinforced concrete
element
Reinforcement bar lap splice capacity of the
member is improved due to FRP axial strengthening
system application
The ductility of reinforced concrete column is
improved considerably.

Design of Axial FRP Strengthening Systems for Columns
FRP axial strengthening is usually conducted by
providing fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) around
reinforced concrete columns. This strengthening
technique is specifically influential when the
column is circular.
However, if the reinforced concrete column is
rectangular and the ratio of depth to width of
column is larger than 2 or the smallest side of the
column is greater than 900mm, then ACI 440.2R-
08 is not applied for this strengthening method.
Figure-2 illustrates the confined area in different
shapes of concrete columns.

Concrete Columns

The ineffectiveness of rectangular or square
column confinement might be attributed to the
non-uniform stress distribution and stress
concentration at the corner of the section. This
may lead to premature failure of strengthened
element.
It is essential to wrap reinforced concrete column
completely with FRPs in order confine and improve
the element effectively. Unlike the flexural and
shear strengthening of reinforced concrete beams,
the FRPs which surround the column activated only
if the member is enlarged laterally and exert
stresses on the FRPs. This means that, beam
strengthening is an active system whereas column
strengthening is a passive system.
The FRP system which wrapped around the column
creates circumferentially uniform confine pressure
that acts against the radial compression
enlargement. Figure-3 illustrates how FRP systems
create a pressure against the compression
expansion of the concrete column.

Continuous FRPs
Strengthening of RCC Column Under Pure Compression
The compression strength of reinforced concrete
column can be increased through confinement of
the column. The confinement is achieved by
directing FRP systems around the column
transverse to longitudinal direction of the column.
It should be said that, any FRP system that applied
to in other directions should be ignored.

The nominal capacity of short, non-prestressed,
normal weight reinforced concrete column with tie
and spiral reinforcement can be calculated by the
following two equations which is provided by ACI
318-11:
For tie:
For spiral
The confined compressive strength is estimated
using formula provided by ACI 440.2R-08:
If is larger than zero but smaller than , the
following formula is applied:
When is larger than but smaller than , then
the following expression is used:
21. 21
Where:

and 0.65 for tie

applying equation 10 and its value should not
exceed 0.01.
E2 and are slope of linear portion of stress
strain model for FRP confined concrete and
transition strain in stress strain curve of FRP
confined concrete respectively and both may be
estimated by the following equations:

The maximum confined concrete compressive
strength (fcc‘) in equation-5 is calculated as follows:
Where:
: Strength reduction factor taken as 0.95
ka: Efficiency factor for FRP reinforcement in
determination of maximum confined compressive
strength and it depend on geometry of cross

for circular cross section as per the ACI 440.2R-08
recommendation.

following expression:

The maximum axial compressive strain of confined
concrete can be calculated by the following
equations:
Where:
: Maximum strain of unconfined concrete
kb: Efficiency factor for FRP reinforcement and it
can be considered as 1 for circular cross section
based on recommendations of ACI 440.2R-08
fl / fc‘: Confinement ratio and a minimum of 0.08
should be considered as per ACI 440.2R-08
recommendation.
If non-circular cross section is strengthened, the equivalent
diameter should be used in equation 8 as
illustrated in Figure-5:
25. 25
Fig.5: Equivalent Circular Cross Section
And both efficiency factor (ka) in equation-7 and (kb)
are based on the cross-sectional area of effectively
confined concrete (Ae) and (h?b) ratio as can be
observed from the following equations:

seen from figure 5

Column Subjected to Combined Axial Compression
and Bending
Reinforced concrete column that is subjected to
both axial compression and bending can be
strengthened by axial FRP strengthening systems.
If the eccentricity is smaller than 0.1h then
equation-1 and equation-2 can be employed to
anticipate the confinement effect on the strength
improvement.
However, when the eccentricity surpasses 0.1h
then the two previous equations is employed to
27. 27
estimate the concrete material properties of the
cross-section element under compression. This will
be used to construct interaction (P-M) diagram,
Figure-6, for the concrete element that has been
confined by FRP systems.
Moreover, there are several restrictions which
should be considered when the member is
subjected to axial compression and bending.
The first condition which should be considered is
that, FRP effective strain must be greater than
0.004.
Moreover, if maximum applied bending moment
and axial force located below the line that connect
the balanced point in the interaction diagram for
unconfined member and the origin, then strength
improvement should not be considered.

Exposing Rusted Rebar
First we removed all loose concrete at the surrounding
area of each crack or spall. We then sandblasted to
remove all rust and debris from the exposed reinforcing
steel.
The sandblasting sprayed a good amount of debris in the
air, and to protect the surrounding vehicles we had to be
very creative with our containment during this process.
