Design rupture strain of FRP reinforcement：εfu= CE εfu*= 0.0134
2.2 Capacity of existing column ϕPn,existing
Gross area of concrete column: Ag = 372100 mm2
Strength reduction factor: ϕ=0.65
Strength of existing column: ϕPn(A),existing =0.8ϕ[0.85 fc’(Ag - Ast)+ fyAst]= 0.8× 0.65 ×(0.85× 45 ×( 372100- 9650.96)+ 414 ×9650.96)=9286770.95N
2.3 Capacity of strengthen column ϕPn
Effective strain in the CFRP: εfe=κeεfu=0.55εfu=0.55×0.01= 0.0074
Maximum confining pressure due to CFRP jacket: fℓ =2nEftfεfe/D=2×3 × 259251 ×0.333 × 0.0074/862.67 =4.44 MPa
Ratio of Ast to Ag of compression column: ρg = Ast/Ag =9650.96/ 372100= 0.0259
Ae/Ac={1-[(b/h)(h-2rc)2+(h/b)(b-2rc)2]/3/Ag -ρg}/(1-ρg)={1-[(610/ 610)( 610-2×25)2+(610/ 610)( 610-2×25)2]/3/372100- 0.0259}/(1-0.03)= 0.42
Efficiency factor: ka=(Ae/Ac)(b/h)2=0.42 ×( 610/ 610)2= 0.42
Efficiency factor: kb =(Ae/Ac)(h/b)0.5=0.42 ×( 610/ 610)2= 0.42
Additional reduction factor: ψf = 0.95
Compressive strength of confined concrete: fcc′= fc′+ψf3.3kafℓ=45+ 0.95 ×3.3×0.42 ×4.44= 50.88 MPa
Strength reduction factor: ϕ=0.65
Strength of existing column: ϕPn =0.8ϕ[0.85 fcc’(Ag - Ast)+ fyAst]= 0.8×0.65 ×[0.85×50.88 ×( 372100- 9650.96)+ 414 ×9650.96]= 10229409.18 N
