Abstract
Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composite jackets have become a popular option for repairing deteriorated structures due to the superior characteristics of composite materials in resisting corrosion and in providing a high strength but lightweight repair system. Recently, a novel prefabricated FRP composite jacket with an easy-fit and self-locking mechanical joining system was developed. This paper presents the experimental and numerical studies on the effectiveness of the FRP jacket in repairing reinforced concrete (RC) columns with simulated corrosion damage under uniaxial compressive loading. The experimental results showed that the jacket successfully stabilised and restored the axial strength capacity of the damaged concrete columns. Moreover, the results of the finite element (FE) analysis revealed that the joint of the jacket should be placed away from the damaged zone to minimise stress concentration and to effectively utilise the jacket as a repair system. Finally, a joint strength of at least 20 per cent of the hoop tensile strength of the jacket is effective in repairing damaged structures.
