Abstract:  This paper presents the variant experimental results of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) jacketing effect on a range of cylindrical concrete compressive strengths. Twenty four cylinders were cast (twelve cylinders were wrapped with single layer of CFRP and remaining cylinders were unconfined) and tested under axial compressive loading. The two grades of concrete compressive strength were used in this experimental study i.e low strength and normal strength. The test was carried out in terms of confined compressive strength for low and normal strength concrete cylinders. The results obtained shows that the carbon fibre reinforced polymer jacketing is more effective for low strength concrete rather than the high strength.
