“…4,[20][21][22] However, the majority of these investigations paid attention to the response of circular HSC columns with FRP strengthening, 23,24 and only a few investigations were concerned with the response of square or rectangular HSC columns with FRP strengthening. [25][26][27][28] Although, in practice, square SRHSC (SSRHSC) columns are often found and usually resist combined flexural and axial loads (eccentric axial compression), 25,27,29,30 only two studies concerned with the response of FRP strengthened SSRHSC (FRPS-SSRHSC) columns under eccentric axial compression. 31,32 For FRPS-SSRHSC columns under eccentric axial compression, only one study 31 evaluated the influence of the vertical FRP strengthening on the performance of the SSRHSC columns.…”
