Numerical modeling of concrete confined by fiber-reinforced composites
Lateral confinement of reinforced concrete columns can significantly increase their lateral deflection capability and load-carrying capacity. While such retrofits were initially completed using steel jackets, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been used successfully and extensively for seismic and blast upgrades. Numerical modeling of such structures requires the use of a concrete material model that can accurately represent the volumetric behavior of concrete under triaxial stress states, to capture the interaction between concrete expansion and the resulting stress increase in the confining jacket. Test data by Suter and Pinzelli, Karbhari and Gao, and Mirmiran and Shahawy on concrete cylinders and prisms confined by aramid, carbon, and glass FRP sheets are analyzed numerically. The concrete material model used was developed for the study of the effect of blast loading on reinforced concrete structures and was verified and validated for a variety of triaxial stress paths. The numerical analyses closely reproduce the strength enhancements observed in the test specimens for various levels of confinement. The model also confirms the observed inefficiency of low levels of lateral confinement and the superior enhancement provided by circular cross sections as compared to rectangular ones.
