Ciência & Tecnologia dos Materiais is the official journal of SPM, the Portuguese Society of Materials (Sociedade Portuguesa de Materiais), providing a forum for publishing peer-reviewed papers related to both fundamentals of materials science and technological application of engineering materials. The scope of the journal covers a wide range of topics in materials science that are of interest to the SPM, encompassing electrochemistry, corrosion and protection of materials, extractive metallurgy and recycling, electronic and optoelectronic materials, biomaterials, forest materials, polymeric and composite materials, foundry, heat treatment and surface engineering, tribology, and fracture. Science and Technology of Materials welcomes contributions in the form of original research papers, review articles and technical notes reporting advances on those fields, emphasizing new materials, new products and devices, and new technologies.

The present study deals with the analysis of experimental results, regarding of load carrying capacity and strains, obtained from tests on reinforced concrete (RC) columns, strengthened with external carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. The experimental parameters include: number of wrap layers, slenderness of the columns (L/a or L/D) and section geometry (circular or square). A total of 48 specimens were subjected to axial compression. All test specimens were loaded to failure. Compressive stress, both axial and hoop strains have been recorded to evaluate the stress-strain relationship, ultimate stress, stiffness, and ductility. First, the effects of test parameters are analysed and compared. Results clearly demonstrate that composite wrapping can enhance the structural performance of RC columns in terms of both maximum strength and ductility.
