Abstract
The paper deals with the analysis of experimental results in terms of load-carrying capacity and strains, obtained from tests on circular concrete column, strengthened with external glass fibre composite. A total of seven specimens of 150mm diameter and having a height of 600 mm were cast and tested. One specimen was used as reference and remaining six specimens were wrapped with three GFRP materials having different thickness. The columns were tested under uni-axial compression up to failure. Necessary measurement was taken for each load increment. The HSC columns with GFRP wrapping exhibited better performance in terms of strength, deformation and ductility capacity.
