Abstract: This paper presents the results of a study on the mechanical behavior of concrete columns strengthened with fiber-reinforced
polymer (FRP) and subjected to concentric and eccentric compression loading. A numerical analysis model was developed based on the
effectively confined concrete area and the stress-strain relationship of the confined concrete established based on compression tests of circular
plain concrete columns. The model was verified against the test results of square concentrically loaded plain concrete columns and square
eccentrically loaded reinforced concrete columns. An analytical formula of the maximum compression load of square or rectangular fiber
reinforced polymer strengthened concrete columns, with respect to the same but nonstrengthened columns, was developed based on the
parametric study results by using the verified model. The analytical formula was further verified with the test results of 23 square and
rectangular fiber reinforced polymer strengthened columns reported in the literature. Good agreement was achieved. It was found that
the increase of the maximum compression load of FRP-strengthened concrete columns, with respect to the same but nonstrengthened
columns, increases linearly with the amount of FRP sheets used and decreases linearly with the load eccentricity and
exponentially with the concrete compression strength. The last observation implies that the FRP strengthening technique (through wrapping)
is most suitable for low-strength concrete buildings. DOI: 10.1061/(ASCE)CC.1943-5614.0000351. © 2013 American Society of Civil
