Shaking Table Evaluation of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Columns Repaired Using Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Jackets

Abstract

Effective, economical, and timely repair of RC bridges after a seismic event is crucial. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite laminates are one of few options and have several advantages. The paper presents shaking table experimental investigation to evaluate the use of FRP for repairing RC bridge columns with circular cross sections. Two
