This paper discusses the results of experimental research aimed to investigate the potentials of different types of innovative jacketing materials used to retrofit reinforced concrete columns. Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) wraps and fiber-reinforced mortar (FRM) jackets were used as retrofi...
