Abstract:
Carbon fiber reinforced concrete (CFRC) was combined with traditional transverse steel reinforcement in the form of steel spirals in an attempt to increase the energy absorption and strength of the concrete under both monotonic and cyclic loading. The stress-strain relationship of concrete in compression, in both unconfined and confined states, was examined. The descending branch of the stress-strain curve was recorded to investigate the ductility of normal and high-strength fiber reinforced concrete confined with steel spirals.
