• External FRP wrapping may be used with circular and rectangular RC columns to strengthen also for shear
• The confining effects of FRP wraps are not activated until significant radial expansion of concrete occurs
• Particularly useful in seismic upgrade situations where increased lateral loads are a concern
• Therefore, ensure service loads kept low enough to prevent failure by creep and fatigue

• One way to improve FRP effectiveness is to apply prestress to the sheet prior to bonding • This allows the FRP to contribute to both service and ultimate load-bearing situations • It can also help close existing cracks , and delay the formation of new cracks • Prestressing FRP sheets is a promising technique, but is still in initial stages of development ISIS EC Module 4
