Abstract

This document contains provisions for the design and detailing of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) systems used to jacket concrete columns in seismic retrofit applications. Provisions to determine load-deformation parameters used for linear and nonlinear analysis of retrofitted columns are presented. Modeling parameters and acceptance criteria for concrete columns jacketed using FRP systems are provided in a format that allows their evaluation within the ASCE/SEI 41 and ACI 369.1 frameworks. The provisions of this document are not intended to be used outside the framework of ASCE/SEI 41 and ACI 369.1. Only carbon and glass FRP systems are treated in this document.
