Abstract The use of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) to confine concrete columns improves the strength and ductility of the
columns by reducing passive lateral confinement pressure. Many numerical and analytical formulations have been
proposed in the literature to describe the compressive behaviour of FRP confined concrete under both monotonic
and cyclic loads. However, the effect of a stress/strain level in the columns has not been well defined because of the
lack of well-defined strategies of modelling and oversimplification of the model. This paper reviews the existing
FRP combinations and the available numerical and analytical methods to determine More >
