Abstract
In this paper, the axial behaviors of reactive powder concrete (RPC) short columns confined with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) were investigated. All the specimens have square cross section of 100 mm × 100 mm and length of 400 mm with aspect ratio 4. The experimental work consists of three groups. The first group consists of six specimens of RPC with 2% micro steel fiber, without ordinary reinforcing steel and confining by zero, one and two layer of CFRP respectively. The second group consists of six specimens of RPC with 2% micro steel fiber and minimum ordinary reinforcing steel and confining by zero, one and two layers of CFRP respectively. The third group consists of four specimens of RPC without micro steel fiber and ordinary reinforcing steel and confining by one and two layers of CFRP respectively. Experimental data for strength, longitudinal and lateral displacement and failure mode were obtained for each test. The toughness (area under the curve) for each test was obtained by using numerical integration. The RPC columns confined with CFRP showed stiffer behavior compared with RPC columns without CFRP. The ultimate load of the RPC columns with 2% micro steel fiber + two layers of CFRP + minimum ordinary reinforcement were more than that of the RPC columns with 2% micro steel fiber + minimum ordinary reinforcement and without CFRP by about 1.333.
