Strengthening of Column By CFRP
Confining
INTRODUCTION
Retrofitting: It is the method of
modifying on repairing something after
it has been manufactured. Retrofitting
work includes changing or repairing the
structure system of a building after its
construction & occupation.
The main goal of Retrofitting is to
stabilize the current structure of
buildings and make them earthquake
resistant.
METHODS OF RETROFITTING:
1. Adding New short wall.
2. Adding steel Bracing.
3. Wall Thickening Technique.
4. Base Isolation Technique.
5. Mass Reduction Technique.
6. Jacketing Method.
7. Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP).
8. Epoxy Infection Method.
9. External Plate bonding.
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP).

• It is one of the composite materials

which is used in both repairing and
strengthening of reinforced concrete
structures.
OBJECTIVES

 Strengthening of plain concrete column by CFRP

confinement
 Strengthening of reinforced concrete column by
CFRP confinement
LITERATURE REVIEW

 D. Vigneshkumar (IJRET, 2018) studied the effect of

CFRP confinement on R.C column. Result of the studied
showed that The CFRP wrapped specimen has
improvement quality in terms of strength, stiffness. and
ductility in comparison to a similar unwrapped cylinder.
