Abstract

This study presents results of an experimental investigation conducted to investigate the axial behavior of natural rope confined concrete. Natural ropes such as coir, coconut and hemp ropes are easily available both in developing and developed counties. In this study, small scale concrete columns were confined using natural rope made of hemp fibers. The hemp rope was applied in three different thicknesses i.e. one layer, two layers and three layers. Both confined and un-confined concrete columns were tested under monotonic axial compression. The results indicate that rope confinement is very effective method to enhance ultimate strength and strain of confined concrete. The confinement level has a significant effect on strength and ductility of rope confined concrete. There is found significant increase in strength and ductility of concrete with an increase in the confinement level.
