Problem with FRP

Post by dimitopa2 »

Hello,

I have a problem with FRP wrapping. I want to increase the shear strength of the columns so I used CFRP sheets to wrap them. However the results I get are exactly the same with the results of the initial analysis without the wrapping. Why is that happening and what can I do for that?

Thank you

Dear dimitopa2,

You might need to apply more layers of the FRP Wrap or an FRP wrap with different properties.
