Strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) element is challenging as the efficiency of a particular strengthening scheme may change under different loading conditions. The importance of hybrid Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) strengthening on the behavioral improvement of RC column elements under combined axial and bending loads is investigated. In total, thirty-two RC square elements of dimensions 230 mm (B x D) are cast. The specimens are tested under different uniaxial eccentric (e) compression like (i) axial compression (e=0), (ii) low eccentric compression (e=0.15*D), (iii) high eccentric compression (e=0.63*D) and (iv) pure flexure (e=8). The specimens are strengthened using (i) Near Surface Mounting (NSM) of CFRP laminates, (ii) External Bonding (EB) of CFRP fabrics and (iii) Hybrid strengthening which uses a combination of NSM and EB technique. Two specimens are tested under each series to ensure the consistency of test results. Axial compression (P) - bending (M) interaction diagram developed from the experimental results revealed that hybrid FRP strengthening resulted in the best performance under all combinations of axial compression and bending loads. EB strengthening which exhibited better performance under axial compression had a reduced improvement under combined bending and compression loads. Moreover, the behavior of NSM strengthened specimens had significant improvement due to presence of bending in the interaction diagram. © 2019 9th International Conference on Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites in Civil Engineering, CICE 2018.
