Abstract
It is known that PC members reinforced with FRP as tendons show brittle failure in spite of the failure modes. The objective of this paper is to improve ductility of PC members reinforced with FRP as tendons. Compressive behavior of concrete confined with CFRP was investigated. It was confirmed that compressive stress-strain of confined concrete was greatly improved to ductile manner. PC members using CFRP as tendons and transverse CFRP to confine concrete were newly developed. Ductility of the PC members was greatly improved.
