Behaviour of concrete beam-column connections reinforced with hybrid FRP sheet

摘要

Modelling complex concrete column-beam connection with hybrid fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) reinforcement properly requires understanding of the behaviour of such component and supporting from some experimental data for model updating and refine- ment. This paper, through a comprehensive experimental work,, investigates the behaviour of reinforced concrete frame specimens designed to represent the column-beam connections in plane frames. As a flow-up to the previous reported work, it focuses on details of experimental analyses, in particular, a comprehensive strain analysis.
