Abstract The present study investigates the behavior of concrete specimens confined with woven roving glass fabrics under uniaxial compression. The fabric made up of 360G.S.M. woven roved E-glass is embedded in a polyester resin before application. Experimental investigations have been carried out on confined and unconfined concrete specimens of size 150 mm (diameter) X 300 mm (height) under a displacement controlled loading. The effect of number of layers on confinement has also been investigated. Load versus deflection plots have been obtained for all the specimens. Numerical studies have been performed on the confinement effect of the wrapped concrete specimens. A non-linear… More >
