it was also noted that the enhancement in axial
stress and strain values due to CFRP wrapping, which causes the
delay in the lateral expansion, was lower than that for 12.41 MPa
(1800 psi) similar concrete cylinders when wrapped with same
number of CFRP sheets. Therefore, existing but seismic deficient
low strength concrete structures after being properly repaired
and retrofitted with CFRP could not only recover their original state
but also survive even larger potential earthquakes due to this
improved strength and ductility.
