Confined concrete; proceedings.
The 28 technical papers selected for the June 2004 symposium present recent research findings on confined concrete modeling, testing, and design implementation. The contributors explore performance-based seismic analysis, finite element modeling, FRP confined concrete, steel and concrete composites, and other confinement measures. Topics include the stress-strain relationship of confined concrete with GFRP jackets, the seismic performance of confined concrete bridge columns, an energy-based CDM model for nonlinear analysis, and RC columns strengthened with CFRP sheets under eccentric compression.
