A model to simulate the cyclic axial compressive behaviour of RC columns confined with CFRP sheets. In CCC 2008 - Challenges for Civil Construction. Porto978-972-752-100-5http://hdl.handle.net/10198/15771In the present work a constitutive model to predict the cyclic axial compressive behavior of RC columns confined with CFRP is proposed. This model was implemented in a FEM-based computer program, able to simulate the material nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete frame structures. The performance of the developed model is assessed using results obtained from experimental tests.engReinforced concrete columnsCFRPConcrete confinementCyclic behaviourfibrous modelconference object
