Confinement efficacy of partially and fully wrapped CFRP systems in RC column prototypes

Since the beginning of the nineties, fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) have been used to increase the load carrying capacity and the energy absorption capacity of reinforced concrete columns [1-5]. The high specific strength and stiffness, the low thickness and weight, and the high resistance to corro...
