Mechanical behavior of reinforced concrete short column-CFRP composite based on ABAQUS finite element analysis

Strengthening of the structural members and frames is one of the engineering concerns, so this study will present some structural behavior of the reinforced concrete (RC) short column wrapped by carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets under pure axial static load. The nonlinear finite element...
