Abstract
This paper presents the experimental results of post-heated concrete cylinders repaired externally using Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) fabrics. Eighteen concrete cylinders of size 155mm x 300mm were exposed to different temperatures of 100, 200, and 300°C for 3 hours. Subsequently, the exposed concrete cylinders were naturally cooled down to room temperature and repaired externally using CFRP reinforcement. All these cylinders were tested to failure under axial loading. Results show that the residual strength of post-heated CFRP repaired concrete cylinders was significantly increased between 47 to 51% over the control cylinders. However, the ductility of CFRP repaired concrete cylinders was increased at the elevated temperatures. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
