Structural reinforcement is essential for structural components that require increased strength. GFRP mesh jacketing is an alternative reinforcement technique because it is effective for structural components that experience compressive forces. GFRP has proven to be an alternative to steel reinforcement because it has high tensile strength, is lightweight, has corrosion resistance, and has superior durability. This study aims to determine the increase in compressive strength of concrete without a GFRP mesh layer and with variations of the GFRP mesh layer. This study also seeks to analyze the stress-strain diagram of concrete with GFRP mesh jacketing. This study was conducted through experiments using cylindrical concrete specimens with a diameter of 150 mm, a height of 300 mm, and a concrete quality of 25 MPa. The test subjects had three variations: concrete without GFRP mesh, with single-layer GFRP mesh, and with two-layer GFRP mesh; each variation consisted of three sample objects. Each specimen was tested for compressive strength. The test results showed an increase in compressive strength of 11.47% in the single-layer variation and 16.85% in the two-layer variation. GFRP mesh jacketing increases the maximum stress capacity and enlarges the strain when collapsed. It shows that using GFRP mesh layer variations as confinement can increase concrete compressive strength and ductility.

摘要

Structural reinforcement is essential for structural components that require increased strength. GFRP mesh jacketing is an alternative reinforcement technique because it is effective for structural components that experience compressive forces. GFRP has proven to be an alternative to steel reinforcement because it has high tensile strength, is lightweight, has corrosion resistance, and has superior durability. This study aims to determine the increase in compressive strength of concrete without a GFRP mesh layer and with variations of the GFRP mesh layer. This study also seeks to analyze the stress-strain diagram of concrete with GFRP mesh jacketing. This study was conducted through experiments using cylindrical concrete specimens with a diameter of 150 mm, a height of 300 mm, and a concrete quality of 25 MPa. The test subjects had three variations: concrete without GFRP mesh, with single-layer GFRP mesh, and with two-layer GFRP mesh; each variation consisted of three sample objects. Each specimen was tested for compressive strength. The test results showed an increase in compressive strength of 11.47% in the single-layer variation and 16.85% in the two-layer variation. GFRP mesh jacketing increases the maximum stress capacity and enlarges the strain when collapsed. It shows that using GFRP mesh layer variations as confinement can increase concrete compressive strength and ductility.
