Abstract: A total of 29 square reinforced concrete (RC) columns with different amounts of internal steel rein- forcement and of externally wrapped CFRP as well as pre-damage levels,were designed and tested under axial compression. On the basis of regression analysis of the test results,a stress-strain model for CFRP-confined da- maged reinforced concrete under axial compression was proposed. The test results show that CFRP wrapping is effec- tive in restoring or even enhancing the compressive strength and the strain capacity of damaged reinforced concrete. Both the compressive strength and the ultimate strain of CFRP-confined damaged reinforced concrete increase with the increase of the quantities of CFRP and the decrease of pre-damage levels,while the initial elastic modulus de- creases with the increase of pre-damage levels. Under cyclic loading,the envelope curve of cyclic stress-strain re- sponse of CFRP-confined damaged reinforced concrete under axial compression coincides with the monotonic coun- terpart. The prediction provided by the proposed model agrees well with the test results.
