Planning is done as an effort to strengthening for a RC column namely a confinement by
using steel reinforcement. However, it has disadvantage that it cannot confine entire RC
column and it could potentially increase the dead load of structure so that strength and
ductility was not optimal. Steel ties reinforcement cannot provide superior confinement for
reinforced concrete (RC) columns due to constraints on tie spacing and disturbance of
concrete continuity. Therefore investigating use of internally confined with glass fiber
reinforced polymer (GFRP) layers RC column is important for a RC column to achieve
more strength and ductility than conventional RC column. This research investigated
Experimental study and Finite Element Analysis on Reinforced Concrete (RC) columns
internally confined with GFRP layers in additional to regular tie reinforcement by
considering different parameter such as cross sectional shape of columns, area of columns,
GFRP-confined and unconfined specimens and number of internal GFRP layers.
In this thesis, thirteen circular and nineteen square short column specimens were prepared
on experimental program including control groups. Each shape of columns were group by
different cross sectional area, FRP-confined and unconfined specimens and number of
internal GFRP layers
