摘要:
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) has been widely utilized to wrap concrete column in order to improve the axial compressive bearing capacity. In this study, the size effect of CFRP-wrapped square concrete columns was investigated using both experimental and numerical approaches. A total of 30 geometrically-similar CFRP-wrapped concrete columns with a maximum cross-sectional width of 600 mm were designed and tested with repeated axial compression. The influences of loading type, structural size and reinforcement configuration on the failure of the columns were explored and measured. Moreover, a 3D meso-scale simulation approach considering the influence of concrete heterogeneity and CFRP-concrete interactions was utilized to furtherly investigate the size effect of CFRP-wrapped columns. In the 3D meso-scale simulations, the failure of columns with larger structural sizes and larger CFRP fiber ratios was analyzed. The size effect on the nominal compressive strength of CFRP-wrapped columns was examined and discussed in detail. Finally, an updated size effect law (SEL) was established to describe the size effect in CFRP-wrapped concrete columns. The updated SEL is proved to be reasonable, which shows good consistence with the present experimental data and simulation results. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd
