Admin , i had read a comment in which it was mentioned that for a damaged column we can decrease the modulus of elasticity to consider failure. and i used that point and it gives me good result. Kindly if is hidden or deleted post it again so that i can take it as a reference in my thesis.

<t>I have found energy dissipation for a damaged column wrap with single layer of CFRP using FRP jacket ratio. Results are good as i compared them with experimental. But when i double the FRP jacket ratio ( Two layer of CFRP ) . Energy dissipation decreases ..... any idea why their is the decrease ...

It's k Sir. I will go for both options

Thanks Rui ..... Actually my work in on two parts. one without cracked column and other with crack one. First part is done .... but for crack one i will search as u advised.

I have made a column. and then applied pushover on it. now i want to simulate the cracked or damaged column , then how to model repairing of that damaged column, and at last I have to wrap CFRP ?
