    Recent research have highlighted the potential of hybrid confinement, combining high tensile strength fiber-reinforced polymers with large rupture strain confinement. This study presents experimental findings on 64 cylindrical and square-shaped specimens tested under axial compression, introducing a novel hybrid confinement method utilizing low-cost fiberglass chopped strand mat sheets and cotton ropes (COFS confinement). The experimental and analytical results yielded several key conclusions. Firstly, circular specimens exhibited significant peak strength increases in various subgroups, with enhancements ranging from 97.5 % to 285.5 %, and ultimate strain improvements ranging from 588.6 % to 1650.0 %. Similarly, square specimens under COFS confinement also demonstrated notable enhancements in ultimate strength and strain, with increases up to 244.7 % and 1083.0 %, respectively, particularly evident with higher levels of confinement. The influence of cross-sectional shape on compressive strength, strain, and energy dissipation was noted, with COFS confinement notably improving these factors for circular sections. Additionally, the study found that as the unconfined compressive strength increased, the enhancement in compressive strength, ultimate strain, and energy dissipation decreased. Moreover, the confinement ratio positively affected axial behavior improvement, with a proportional enhancement observed. However, the efficacy of the confinement ratio was influenced by cross-section type and plain concrete strength, emphasizing the need for considering these factors in COFS-based confinement design. Lastly, an analytical design-oriented model proposed for approximating stress vs. strain curves of COFS-confined concrete showed close agreement with experimental results, providing valuable insights for future design considerations.

    This study addresses the mechanical limitations of concrete fabricated with recycled brick and concrete as partial replacement of coarse aggregates, which exhibit inferior strength and stiffness compared to those with natural aggregates. To rectify this, a cost-effective approach involving low-cost glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites (LOC-GFRP) is proposed. The key parameters considered were the plain concrete compressive strength and the quantity of LOC-GFRP layers. The compressive strength of LOC-GFRP-confined concrete increased with the number of layers, with greater improvements observed in lower-strength plain concrete. Moreover, the improvement in ultimate strain was more significant than the improvement in compressive strength. The compressive strength and ultimate strain were improved by 271% and 478%, respectively. LOC-GFRP confinement resulted in a bilinear compressive stress vs. strain response, showcasing increased ductility and strength with more LOC-GFRP layers. The study evaluated various existing analytical expressions for fiber-reinforced polymers but found them inadequate in predicting parameters accurately. As a result, nonlinear regression analysis was carried out to propose expressions for predicting compressive strength and ultimate strain of LOC-GFRP-confined concrete for different aggregate types. The calculated coefficient of determination values ≥ 0.90 confirmed the good correlation among experimental and predicted values.
