Abstract: To investigate the seismic performance of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) confined reinforced concrete columns with different concrete strength, the quasi-static test was carried out on four confined columns and two control columns under low cyclic lateral load. The influence of parameters such as concrete strength and FRP type on the test results was investigated. The test results show that the columns have flexural failure after confinement. The strength, ductility and energy dissipation capacity of columns are enhanced. The increments of ductility and energy dissipation indexes are observed to improve significantly when the concrete strength of confined columns increases greatly. With the same confining pressure, the peak loads of basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) confined columns are nearly same. The BFRP-confined normal-strength concrete column has higher ductility and energy dissipation capacity. But the seismic performance of CFRP-confined concrete columns is slightly better when the concrete strength grade reaches C50. The skeleton curve models were proposed for different FRP confined columns. The results of parameter analysis verify the experimental conclusions based on the wider range of concrete strength, longitudinal reinforcement and axial compression ratio.
