Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is widely used as a composite material in civil engineering application to rehabilitate or strengthen reinforced-concrete structural element. Fiber wrapping is a technique to wrap RCC structural components such as beams, columns and slabs with a confining material in order to improve the performance and durability of existing structure. In terms of parameters such as confinement strength, post-repair ductility, cross-sectional area, weight, corrosion resistance, easy in application and overall project cost. this method has proven superior over time to conventional methods of retrofitting techniques. Whenever repair and strengthening are concerned variables such as seismic resistance, improved ductility, axial strength, impact and blast resistance, increased flexural strength, shear strength and fatigue life are required. In case of damaged structural element due to excessive loading or erosion in exposed environment, repair is necessary. When the structural usage changes or some neighboring load bearing structural components are removed, retrofitting may be required. Though variety of FRP such as glass fiber, carbon fiber and aramid fiber can be used for strengthening, this study mainly focuses on application of carbon fiber polymer (CFRP) and glass fiber polymer (GFRP) in strengthening of structural elements. The aim of this study was to compile an extensive and up-to-date experimental database based on the compression tests performed on square concrete cubes using FRP composite materials. This review presents square concrete cubes wrapped with CFRP and GFRP under axial compression.
