Design Assumptions:
B = Width of Column B= 600 mm
H = Height of Column H= 600 mm
Aspect Ratio H/B = 1

fcu = Crushing strength of concrete fcu = 34.5 N/mm
2
fy = Characteristic Strength of steel reinforcement fy = 414 N/mm

Ac = Area of concrete Ac = 350182.5 mm Ni= Increase in axial capacity after wrapping
nv = No.of layers with primary fibres vertical nv = 3 layer(s) = (1.05fcu+k1)(B+H)tgh + k2(B+2L)tgv Ni = 2258.38 kN
nh = No.of layers with primary fibres horizontal nh = 8 layer(s)
tgv = Total thickness of composite in vertical direction tgv = 3.9 mm % increase in axial load carrying capacity Ni/No*100 %incr.= 32.49%
tgh = Total thickness of composite in horizontal direction tgh = 10.4 mm
L = Length of flange of C- Channel L= 300 mm Note:- The above emperical formula is product specific, derived based on extensive
research conducted on TYFO FIBRWRAP Systems throughout the world
No = Original axial capacity= 0.35fcu*Ac + 0.67fy*As No = 6951.63 kN and cannot be used with any other product.
