Abstract This paper deals with the performance of concrete specimens confined with different glass fabric reinforcement in organic binder consisting of resins. Three varieties of glass fabrics such as woven roving (WR), chopped strand mat (CSM), and textile reinforcement have been studied in the investigation. Experiments have been conducted on unconfined and confined concrete cylindrical specimens under compression. The effect of number of layers on confinement has been studied for specific cases. Specimens have been tested under displacement control. It is observed from the experiments that there is an increase in load carrying capacity as well More >
