CFRP strengthening of short RC columns
Developing and evaluating CFRP strengthening systems for vulnerable reinforced-concrete members.
Engineering question
How can CFRP strengthening address both shear and flexural deficiencies in short reinforced-concrete columns?

My contribution
- Fabricating and testing short RC columns under reversed cyclic loading.
- Investigating shear-flexural strengthening and alternative CFRP confinement configurations.
Findings and relevance
The research evaluates changes in strength, ductility, energy dissipation, and failure mode. It informs the selection and development of strengthening methods for deficient concrete members.
Continuing questions
Continuing interests include the assessment, strengthening, and rehabilitation of existing concrete structures.
