Constitutive Modeling of FRP Confined Concrete from Damage Mechanics

The proposed analytical model developed for concrete confined by FRP composite jackets, might become useful document for various designers and researchers working in the field of retrofitting. Results given by this model easily accepts with the one obtained from the experimental results. The model suggests that, lateral confinement of concrete with FRP composite jackets increases the strength and ductility, under uniaxial compressive load.
