Effect of shape and size on modified rectangular r.C.C columns strenghthened using frpc wraps - Vol.26(2), Apr-Jun - Pune NICMAR 2011 - 14-30p.

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites have become a primary choice for strengthening buildings and bridge components because of their high strength to weight ratio and stiffness-to-weight ratios, ease of application, cost effectiveness and such other salient traits. Polymer modified concrete is very much suitable for repairs and rehabilitation of damaged RCC structures because of its excellent moisture resisting property and high early strength. Though the FRP has become more effective for retrofitting but polymer modified concrete is being widely used for cost effectiveness. This paper focus on elliptically modified FRP wrapped rectangular column and Comparison of experimental results with analytical values calculated as per ACI 440.2R-08.
