This paper presents the results of an experimental study that was undertaken to investigate the effects of the number of FRP layer on the compressive behavior of fiberreinforced polymer-Confined Lightweight Concrete Columns (FCLCs). A total of 6 lightweight concrete were manufactured and tested under axial compression. The results indicate lightweight concrete in a FCLCs system is confined effectively by FRP. The results also suggest that increasing the number of FRP layer leads to an increase in the ultimate axial stress and strain of concrete FCLCs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
