The study investigates the effect of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) jacketing on the compressive behavior of concrete masonry columns. Carbon and glass FRP wrapping can enhance the axial capacity and ductility of columns. Increasing the thickness of FRP jackets further improves the strain, strength, and ductility of the columns.
To overcome the relatively low ductility and capacity of masonry elements, the confinement technique may be an effective alternative for improving their performance, especially the columns. Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) jacketing is a potential approach has benefits in terms of strength enhancement and gaining ductile behavior. Therefore, in this study, two types of FRP were used to improve column axial capacity and ductility: carbon and glass FRP. The effect of FRP wrapping on the compressive behavior of concrete masonry columns was investigated experimentally. Fully grouted scaled masonry columns constructed using C-shaped concrete blocks were wrapped with FRP jackets and tested under concentric compressive load until failure. For this purpose, 18 half-scale masonry prisms under variations in FRP jacketing and FRP thickness were developed and tested in six sets. The effect of FRP confinement on the unconfined masonry columns was evaluated. The CFRP and GFRP jacketing increased the peak strength and ultimate axial strain. Confinement improves post-peak performance by softening the descending stress-strain relationships. Increasing FRP jacket thickness improved the axial strain, strength, and ductility of masonry columns. The CFRP wrap gives 10 similar to 16% more strength than GFRP. Ultimate strain enhanced by 76 % and 57 % for CFRP and GFRP respectively.
