Turkey Placed on one of the most active tectonic plates in the world ~96% of the country is under the threat of earthquakes ~98% of the population are live with that risk. Istanbul 1 st degree of earthquake zone Probability of an earthquake of Magnitude 7-7.5 is ~60% for next 30 years 12 millions people live ( ~20% of the country population )
Existing Structures in Istanbul Low strength concrete ( 10MPa ) Inadequate transverse reinforcement Plain reinforcing bars Since most of the buildings has those deficiencies listed above, it is practically impossible to demolish and re-build all buildings. Consequently, retrofit of many poor existing structures is a very important issue for Turkey!
Purpose of the study Low and medium concrete strength ( ~15 MPa and ~31 MPa ) Inadequate transverse reinforcement CFRP jacketed RC columns ( 3 or 5 piles of CFRP sheets ) were tested under compression. In terms of Strength Deformability Energy dissipation Failure mode

Conclusions The CFRP jackets provide an increase in the compressive strength and corresponding axial strain of the columns with circular, square and rectangular cross-sections While the strength enhancement was more pronounced for circular crosssections, deformability enhancement was more for rectangular cross-sections The premature buckling of the longitudinal reinforcement was prevented and the contribution of longitudinal reinforcing bars to the axial resistance and ductility was maintained until very large axial strains
Conclusions Independent of the jacket thickness, the measured maximum transverse deformations of CFRP jackets for NS and LS specimens were between 0.012~0.015 and 0.013~0.015 The test results showed that CFRP jackets were more effective in the case of low concrete strength in terms of strength and deformability enhancements The empirical equations, proposed by the authors before, predicted the compressive strength and corresponding axial strains of the specimens with a reasonable accuracy
Conclusions The measured axial deformations in three different gage lengths were quite close to each other, particularly in 270 and 500 mm gage lengths* Specimens with greater corner radius reached higher strengths while no significant difference between ultimate axial strains were observed* * not included in this paper
