Assessing the efficiency of CFRP discrete confinement systems for concrete cylinders

Concrete columns requiring strengthening intervention always contain a certain percentage of steel hoops. Applying strips of wet lay-up carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets in-between the existent steel hoops might, therefore, be an appropriate confinement technique with both technical and...
