The present study focuses on the experimental investigation of the structural behavior of slender reinforced concrete columns wrapped with FRP subjected to eccentric loading. Four groups consisting of 11 columns were tested in addition to a reference specimen (no wrapping). These tests studied the effect of four variables on the behavior of the columns. These variables are concrete strength, slenderness ratio, wrapping angle, and the number of layers. All specimens were tested under eccentric compressive loading to failure. Test results were compared and discussed. © 2020 IEEE. %Z cited By 10; Conference of 2nd International Sustainability and Resilience Conference: Technology and Innovation in Building Designs, IEEECONF 2020 ; Conference Date: 25 November 2020 Through 26 November 2020; Conference Code:166621
