Abstract: In the present investigation the effects of different concrete confinement techniques - fiber reinforced concrete (FRC), also in the presence of transverse steel reinforcements; external wrapping with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP); concrete filled steel tubes (CFT) - are compared. The comparison, based on experimental data available in the literature, regard axially compressive tests and have the objective of highlighting the influence of the mechanical and geometrical parameters of confinement devices on increases in maximum strength and strain capacities of the material. Therefore, maximum strength and strain values will be predicted based on the ultimate state of compressed short cylindrical and prismatic specimens made of normal and high strength concrete, having circular or square cross-section and reinforced with the different techniques mentioned.
