Axial Performances of CFRP-PVC Confined RAC Columns: Experimental and Numerical Study by Zidong Hu, Ruoyu Cao, Qiaoyun Wu, Cheng Zhao, Jie Li, Xuyong Chen

“…To address this research gap, this study investigates the axial compressive behavior of CFRP–PVC–RAC columns by varying CFRP strip width (from 25 to 75 mm), strip spacing (from 31 to 77.5 mm), and the number of CFRP layers (one to nine) over a central PVC tube. Axial compression tests reveal that specimens with a central CFRP strip width equal to or greater than 75 mm achieve peak loads up to 1331 kN and that, after rupture of the central strip, the remaining strips continue to carry load, producing a more gradual stress–strain decline and enhanced ductility compared to fully wrapped controls (peak load 1219 kN). …”
