Abstract
The experimental investigation is carried out on cubes retrofitted with glass fibre reinforced polymer. In this experimental study the concrete with target a mean strength of 20MPa grade is utilized. The experimental study is carried out on a short column with the specimen of sizes 100 x 100 x300 and 100 x 150 x 300 mm with aspect ratio of 1 and 1.5 respectively. The specimens were singly and doubly wrapped with glass fibre.Thus the mechanical properties of short column specimen with varying aspect ratio were tested under compression testing machine. From the test result it is observed that short column specimen with double glass fibre wrapping gives better performance as compare to single wrapped and conventional concrete specimen. All the obtained result were tabulated and graphically presented in this paper.
