description

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of concrete columns confined by a wound pre-tensioned carbon filament yarn. Yarn winding equipment was developed in the Institute of Polymer Mechanics with the ability to set the desired pre-tension force and thereby producing confined concrete specimens with different initial lateral pressure. It is shown that initial lateral pressure increases the axial stress at which intense internal cracking of the concrete develops.
