Experimental Investigation of Flax FRP Tube Confined Coconut Fibre Reinforced Concrete
The compressive and flexural performance of flax fibre reinforced polymer (FFRP) confined coconut fibre reinforced concrete (CFRC) structures were investigated. The mass content of coconut fibre considered was 1% of cement. Eighteen cylinders were tested under uniaxial compression and 12 beams were tested under four-point bending. Test results show that in compression, both FFRP tube and FFRP wrapping confinements enhance the axial compressive strength and ultimate strain of concrete significantly, e. g. the ultimate strength of 4-layer FFRP tube confined CFRC is 94% larger than that of the unconfined CFRC. In flexure, the FFRP tube increases the lateral load bearing capacity and the deflection several times larger than the unconfined concrete columns, e. g. the ultimate lateral load of 4-layer FFRP confined PC and CFRC are 1066% and 946% larger than the corresponding unconfined PC and CFRC specimens. In flexure, coir inclusion can affect the failure mode of the FFRP-CFRC composite structure significantly.
