Abstract:
Concrete circular columns are among the most common vertical load-bearing members in structural engineering. Because of the change of service loads or environmental factors, the strengthening of deteriorated members is often demanded to restore and maintain their performance. In view of the limitations of the traditional strengthening methods and the superior mechanical properties of the new material, ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), this study analyzed the stress-strain state of concrete circular columns confined by UHPC jackets under axial compression in the elastic stage. Since elastic analysis is the basis for the service limit state design, the elastic stress solution was derived through the theory of elasticity, and experimental verification of the effectiveness of the UHPC jackets in circular concrete columns was performed. Theoretical bases and references for practical strengthening works are provided.

Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete
The sonic test is a common method to determine the dynamic modulus. In this test, a concrete beam, sized either 6 x 6 x 30 inches or 4 x 4 x 20 inches, is clamped at its center. Vibrations are initiated at one end of the beam by an electromagnetic exciter unit powered by...
