Abstract：Based on mechanical equilibrium, a formula for calculating the compressive strengths of con-crete short columns wrapped with fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) is deduced. The strains of FRP donot reach their limit while strengthened columns are damaged in many experimens. On account of thefact mentioned above, this study introduced an efficiency coefficient of fiber-reinforced plastics, whichrevise the compressive strengths of strengthened columns, thus proposing a method for determining thecompressive strengths of circular short columns wrapped with FRP. The theoretical results in this pa-per are compared with the test results obtained by Demers.
