Effect of Pre-Damage on the Behavior of Axially and Eccentrically Compressed Concrete Cylinders Confined with PBO-FRCM.

In the case of strengthening building structures, the process usually involves elements that have a certain loading history and are typically subjected to loading during the strengthening process. In scientific research, on the other hand, strengthening is usually applied to elements that are not representative of real structures. This article presents a study of the effect of pre-damage on the behavior of eccentrically compressed concrete cylinders confined with PBO-FRCM (fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix with PBO fibers) composite.
