Hybrid CFRP-based strengthening technique to increase the flexural resistance and concrete confinement of RC columns submitted to axial and cyclic lateral loading

A strengthening technique that combines carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates and strips of wet lay-up CFRP sheet was used to increase the flexural resistance and the energy dissipation capacity of square cross-section columns of very low concrete strength submitted to constant axial comp...
