| Abstract | Numerous applications of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) have demonstrated good performance in retrofitting and repairing deteriorated reinforced concrete structures, both through research studies and through field applications. However, a paucity of available information on FRP strengthening systems at elevated temperatures, and the perceived susceptibility of these systems in fire, still discourages their use in many applications. As such, an experimental and analytical study is underway to study the fire behaviour of FRP strengthened square reinforced concrete columns. The ultimate goal of the study is to develop validated numerical models which can subsequently be used to suggest design guidelines for these types of structural members. This paper presents details of the numerical procedure used to develop a coupled heat transfer and structural analysis model for FRP strengthened square RC columns in fire. The paper also discusses the procedure to be used for upcoming fire endurance tests on two FRP-strengthened square concrete columns which will be performed in an attempt to validate the numerical models. |
