Abstract. Due to low compressive strength and low compressive elastic modulus in comparison with these in tension, GFRP reinforcement is often used for bending elements and is rarely used for compressive structures. In this paper, the authors used finite element (FE) method based on Abaqus software to evaluate the axial load-carrying capacity of GFRP reinforced concrete (RC) columns under varying concrete grades, GFRP reinforcement ratios and tie configurations. The model of the specimens is developed using concrete damage plastic (CDP) model and linear elastic material model for GFRP bar. The consistence of the FE method is verified by the experimental results of a series of columns that tested by current authors. The analytical results show that the selected numerical method can accurately predict the behavior as well as the ultimate capacity of the columns. From simulation results, it is clear that the contribution of GFRP to the load-carrying capacity is considerable in columns with low concrete grades. While using higher concrete grades, the contribution of GFRP decrease, at concrete grade B60, contribution of GFRP is almost unimportant (2.74 %). Influence of tie spacing on load-bearing capacity of columns is also investigated. Accordingly, reducing tie spacing leads to increase load-carrying capacity. Based on study results, the authors recommend to limit tie spacing less than eight times of the GFRP bar diameter.
Nowadays the low durability problem could be solved by applying the new type of reinforcement in concrete structures i.e. the FRP reinforcement. The FRP reinforcement bar includes several different types as Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP), Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP), Aramid Fiber Reinforced Polymer (AFRP), Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (BFRP). The most popular is GFRP bar because of low price. In corrosive environments, the GFRP bar is considered a good substitute material for steel reinforcement. Compared to steel bar, GFRP is a material with many advantages such as corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, light weight, low electrical conductivity. Besides the advantages, it also has certain disadvantages, one of those is low compressive strength and compressive modulus of elasticity. Therefore, GFRP is mainly used to resist tensile load in tension zone of reinforced concrete structures [1, 2].
In order to expand the field of using GFRP reinforcement, especially for compressive elements of structures, many researchers have conducted study on GFRP RC columns under concentrically axial load. The goal of previous studies mainly focused on: evaluating the effect of longitudinal GFRP reinforcement on bearing capacity of columns; failure modes; the influence of configuration of GFRP transverse reinforcement on the behavior of columns and developing formulas to determine the load-carrying capacity etc. [3-11]. In these previous researches [3-11], it was showed that, when replacing the longitudinal steel bars with the GFRP bars by the same amount, the axial load-carrying capacity of GFRP concentrically RC columns decreases by 13 %-16 %. In GFRP RC columns, GFRP bars contribute about 3 %-10 % of the total load-carrying capacity. The increase of main GFRP reinforcement ratio boosts the ductility of cross section which has a significant effect on ultimate strain (to 19 %) and ultimate loads (to 22 %) of columns. Study results of Ehab M. Lotfy [5] indicated that, with the main reinforcement ratio up to 1.7 %, load-carrying capacity and

1. Introduction
reinforcement ratio follows a linear trend. Similarly, the author et al. [16] experimentally proved that, with the main reinforcement ratio up to 3.2 %, load-carrying capacity and reinforcement ratio follows a linear trend.
With the help of powerful commercial FE software, the FE modeling and analysis process is becoming increasingly efficient. Turvey and Zhang [12] conducted experiments and numerical simulations to study failure process after the loss of stability of RC columns reinforced with GFRP bars, using Abaqus software and generalized beam theory. In another study, F. Nunes et al. [13] carried out experiments and simulations of 3 series of I-section column from GFRP under eccentric compression. The results showed an excellent match between the experimental and numerical study results of the load-bearing capacity and the type of failures. Zhong Tao et al. [14] adjusted the FE model to simulate high-strength concrete filled steel tube under axial compression. In this model, the authors have adjusted the parameters in the CDP model for concrete, the modified model is more flexible and gives good convergence with the experimental results. Mohamed Elchalakani et al. [15] used CDP model to simulate GFRP RC columns in Abaqus. It can be seen from the results that the load-displacement response of simulations to experiments is in good agreement, the predicted N-M strength interaction diagrams are consistent with the experimental diagrams.
In general, the experimental data on the behavior of GFRP RC columns under axial load is relatively large. However, there are still some issues that have not been paid attention or just partially studied such as the influence of GFRP reinforcement ratios on the load-carrying capacity of the column; contribution of GFRP to load-carrying capacity of RC columns with different concrete grades and the influence of GFRP tie spacings on the load-bearing capacity of the columns. The current research work has been carried out to further investigate these issues using the nonlinear FE model method in Abaqus software. To achieve research objectives, the authors simulate the behavior of GFRP RC columns with different concrete grades, tie spacings and GFRP reinforcement ratios by using the CDP model and linear stress-strain behavior of GFRP in both tension and compression. From the simulation results, the axial load-concrete strain and axial load-displacement curves of columns under increasing static loading are presented and commented.
2. Methods
2.1. Experimental study program
To verify and adjust the parameters of the numerical model of GFRP RC columns, the authors used the previous experimental results of six short GFRP RC columns under axial load [16]. The size of the short columns was 150*150*600 mm. The average compressive strength of concrete determined by the test results of three 150*150*150 mm cubic specimens at 28th day is given in Table 1. The material properties of GFRP bars are also given in Table 1.

Tested columns differ in longitudinal reinforcement ratios ¡f and tie spacings S. The geometry, the reinforcement details of all column specimens are shown in Figure 1 and Table 1. In order to prevent crushing at the ends of column, thereby ensure failure at the middle of the column, the two ends of the columns are reinforced with steel nets. The purpose of the experiment is to build the axial strain versus axial load, as well as to determine the load-carrying capacity of the columns. The test setup and instrumentation employed to investigate the compression behavior of the GFRP RC columns are showed on Figure 2.

Loading of the column is applied on a testing machine of 100 tons. The columns were supported at both ends with two pairs of 8 mm thick steel plates. To fill the gaps between the steel plates and the surfaces of specimens, ensure uniform distribution of the applied load across the cross section and avoid eccentricity during loading, the authors used two rubber planks.
2.2. Numerical modeling and verification of numerical models
2.2.1. Numerical modeling
a) Describing structural parts and choosing element types
Abaqus software has a rich FE library, so selecting the appropriate element types for each component is necessary to simulate the column as close as possible to reality. In this paper, the eight-noded solid elements C3D8R with reduced integration is selected for concrete, steel plates and longitudinal GFRP bars, while GFRP stirrups is represented with two-noded linear truss element (T3D2).
b) Material properties
Concrete: full stress-strain diagram of concrete is displayed on Figure 3. It is seen that behavior of concrete is divided into two stages: elastic stage and inelastic stage. Under compression, elastic stage of concrete is built according to Model Code 2010 [17] and this stage is characterized by a secant modulus Eo corresponding to a stress of 0.4fcm and Poisson's ratio / = 0.2. Under tension, elastic stage of concrete is represented with Eo and concrete tensile stressfm=0.3016/Ci2/3. For the inelastic stage of concrete in both tension and compression, concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) model proposed by J. Lubliner et al. [18], J. Lee, G.L. Fenves [19] with some modifications according to B. Alfarah et al. [20] is employed. In Abaqus, plastic failure stage is declared through the following coefficients: ratio of second stress invariants on tensile and compressive meridians kc=0.7; the ratio of biaxial compressive yield strength and uniaxial compressive yield strength f,ofCo=1.16; the dilatancy angle of concrete ^=13°; the eccentricity of plastic potential surface 6=0.1.

GFRP for longitudinal and transverse reinforcement: GFRP bar used in this experiment is provided by FRP VIETNAM., JSC [21]. Under tension, linear elastic model until failure based on the tensile test [22] is used to describe the behavior of GFRP (Figure 4 a). Under compression, the stress-strain diagram is built based on the Qasim S. Khan's proposal [23] and the results of tensile test mentioned above. Accordingly, the stressstrain diagram also has linear type as shown on Figure 4 b. According to the experimental results of GFRP bars in compression conducted by O.S. Al Ajarmeh et al. [24], slenderness ratio (L/dj) affected significantly the failure behavior of GFRP bars in compression. With the Lf/df<8, the compressive strength of GFRP is stable, in case Lj/df>8, the compressive strength of GFRP reduces linearly. From the experimental research results by these authors, slenderness ratio does not affect significantly on the compressive elastic modulus. Therefore, in this study if L/dj<8, the compressive stress-strain relationship is used as shown in Figure 4 b , for the case of L/df>8 a reduction in compressive stress and axial strain proposed in [24] is employed.
Steel plates (at the ends of columns) are made from CT3 steel and modeled with bi-linear elasto-plastic material properties without hardening stage (Figure 5). Steel plate uses CT3 material according to GOST 380-89. It is noted that the perfect bond between the GFRP bars and concrete is assumed.

c) Assembly of element parts: in Abaqus, each element of columns (concrete; steel plate; longitudinal GFRP bars; stirrups) is built independently in its local coordinate systems. Therefore, it is necessary to use assembly function to assemble discrete components to form a complete model. Figure 6a shows a complete model of column after assembly.
d) Conditions of interaction: in order to ensure the collaboration of all separate parts of the model, it is necessary to connect them together. Abaqus program provides different types of interaction. For GFRP RC columns, the interactions are as follows: tie constraint is used for interaction between reinforcement and concrete; embedded element is selected for stirrups; surface-to-surface contact with friction coefficient 0.4 is used for interaction between concrete and steel load transfer plate.
e) Mesh of elements: Abaqus provides different mesh element types depending on the geometry of the model. Use of appropriate mesh element type will make the simulation close to the experimental result of columns, reducing the error between simulation results and the experimental results. With the dimensions of tested columns, all parts of element are meshed with size 10 mm (Figure 6 b).

2.2.2. Verification of numerical models
From the numerical simulation results of GFRP RC columns by aforementioned models, the axial load-strain relationship in concrete at middle of columns curves are established and then comparing with the results obtained from the experiments, these curves are illustrated on Figure 7. Analysis of comparison results on Figure 7 shows a good match between simulation and experiment in all stages of behavior from beginning loading to failure. Failure mode of GFRP RC columns is illustrated on Figure 8. The GFRP bar is considered to be damaged when the stress reaches Rcf. Comparing the load-carrying capacity (maximum deviation of 10.5 %), failure modes and load-axial strain curves in concrete between experiment and simulation shows that the simulation method by Abaqus software ensures reliability.
3. Results and Discussion
By using the proven numerical simulation model above, the parametric study on the influence of longitudinal GFRP reinforcement ratios, compressive strengths of concrete and tie spacings on the load-carrying capacity of short GFRP RC columns can be conducted.
3.1. Investigation of contribution of GFRP reinforcement to the load-bearing capacity of RC columns using different concrete strengths (grades)
Contribution of GFRP reinforcement to the load-bearing capacity of RC columns is investigated on specimen 4F12-F6S100 with concrete grades B30, B35, B40, B45 and B60. For these columns, the GFRP reinforcement ratio ¡f and stirrup spacing S are fixed - ¡f = 1.62 % and S = 100 mm. The load-axial strain and load-displacement of these columns from the numerical simulation are shown in Figure 9. When fixing the stirrup configuration, the load-carrying capacity of the column mainly depends on the compressive strength of concrete and the longitudinal GFRP bars, in which concrete strength plays a decisive role. Therefore, when increasing the strength of using concrete, the load-bearing capacity of the column also increases. Accordingly, the load-bearing capacity of the investigated column made from B60 concrete increases 175 % in comparison to that of the column made from concrete B30. However, as the strength of concrete increases, the ductility of the column decreases, which is displayed on the downward branch of the load-displacement curves (Figure 9 b).
The contribution of GFRP bars is defined as the percentage of total axial force in the GFRP bars to maximum load is Pf/Pu, %. In which, Pf depends on the strains in the GFRP bars Sf at the maximum load and compressive modulus of elastic is Pf = SfEfcAf. The value of Sf is equal to strain in concrete at maximum stress - i.e. 0.0022 (Figure 3 a). Figure 10 shows the contribution ratio of GFRP bars to total load-carrying capacity of RC columns fabricated from different concrete grades (from B30 to B60). It is clear that contribution of GFRP bars with amount of reinforcement ratio ¡f = 1.62 % to overall load-carrying capacity of RC columns reduces significantly when concrete grade increases from B30 to B60. In GFRP RC columns made from concrete B60, contribution of GFRP bars accounts for 2.74 % and can be ignored. It should bear in mind that this value is only true in this study range (column dimension 150*150 mm, tie spacing 100 mm and diameter of longitudinal GFRP bar 12 mm, GFRP reinforcement ratio ¡f = 1.62 %). Previous studies [4-6, 16, 27] reported that contribution of GFRP reinforcement to load-carrying capacity of GFRP RC columns varies from 3 % to 10 %. However, the research results in this paper show that the contribution of GFRP bars is a variable value depending on many factors such as: concrete strength; GFRP reinforcement ratio; tie spacing etc.

3.2. Influence of tie spacing on load-carrying capacity
Tie spacing significantly influences load-carrying capacity, confinement effect, and failure modes of RC columns. Reducing stirrup spacing can prevent buckling of longitudinal bars, increasing load-carrying capacity. However, smaller stirrup spacing will affect concrete working, causing waste of materials. Design standards always limit the maximum stirrup spacing (Smax). According to Vietnamese Design standard 5574:2018 [25] and SP 63.13330.2018 [26], Smax should be smaller than 15d (10d) and 400 mm (300 mm) (values in parentheses apply to columns with total reinforcement ratio greater than 3.0 %).
The simulation was conducted on 3 groups of column specimens with longitudinal GFRP reinforcement 4d10, 4d12 and 4d14, the tie spacing varying from 25 mm to 300 mm. The load-displacement relationship diagrams of investigated columns from numerical simulation are shown in Figure 11, Figure 12 and Figure 13. From these figures, it can be seen that tie spacings mainly affect the inelastic stage of behavior curves of GFRP RC columns. For RC columns with tie spacings greater than 100 mm, in the inelastic stage, the axial load-displacement curve tends to go down. In contrast, for columns with tie spacing of 100 mm or less, after elastic stage, axial load-displacement curve tends to go up and the column still carries loads. Stirrups with small spacing improve flexibility, increase confinement effects of columns and ensure stability of longitudinal GFRP bars, thereby increase the total load-bearing capacity of the columns. Increasing tie spacings leads to decrease in the load-bearing capacity of GFRP RC columns (Figure 14). Particularly, when reducing the tie spacing from 300 mm to 50 mm, the bearing capacity of the columns reinforced with longitudinal bars 4d14, 4d12 and 4d10 increases by 23.3 %, 21.3 % and 12.3 %, respectively. Study results reported by Lotfy [5] indicated that if reducing steel tie spacing from 120 mm to 60 mm, load-carrying capacity of columns reinforced with 4d12 GFRP increases by 20 %. In this study, the same simulation results in an increase by only 11.2 % (after from Fig. 14). This difference could be explained by the fact that Lotfy [5] used steel tie instead of GFRP tie, with better confinement effect than GFRP tie.
Analyzing the load-carrying capacity of RC columns versus tie spacings relationships on Figure 14 shows that, within the study scope, when tie spacing exceeds 16.7d, the bearing capacity of the column almost becomes constant and no longer depends on the tie spacing. This means that the load-bearing capacity of such GFRP RC columns becomes close to that of the plain concrete column. Therefore, in order to take advantage of the bearing capacity of the longitudinal GFRP bars, ensure the simultaneous activation of longitudinal GFRP bars with concrete, it is necessary to limit the tie spacing. It is possible to use the limit of tie spacing according to Vietnamese design standard TCVN 5574:2018 [25] or SP 63.13330.2018 [26], Accordingly, the tie spacing is limited to less than 15d. However, based on the research results of O.S. Al Ajarmeh et al. [24], in order to ensure stability and promote full compressive strength of GFRP bars, it is recommended to limit the tie spacing to less than 8d.

3.3. Influence of GFRP reinforcement ratios on compressive behavior of columns
In order to assess the load-bearing capacity of the GFRP RC columns with a wide range of reinforcement ratios, a numerical study on the behavior of the RC columns with reinforcement ratio varying from f/=0.37 % to 3.4 % when fixing the concrete strength Rm=32 MPa and stirrup configuration d6S100 is conducted. Figure 15 shows axial load-displacement of these columns. As mentioned above, load-carrying capacity of GFRP RC columns mainly depends on concrete strength and longitudinal reinforcement. According to the results of numerical study, the load-bearing capacity of columns increases by 29.7 % when the reinforcement ratio increases from f/=0.37 % to ff=3.24 %. This result is similar to the experimental study of the author [16] and Lotfy [5]. In addition, GFRP longitudinal reinforcement also promotes the flexibility of concrete columns in the inelastic stage (shown in the ascending branches on Figure 15).

4. Conclusion
In this study, modeling and verification of behavior of six short concrete columns reinforced with GFRP bars under axial compression load were conducted. By using verified model of GFRP RC columns on Abaqus software, the authors investigated contribution of GFRP bars to load-carrying capacity of RC columns with different concrete grades; the influence of tie spacing on load-bearing capacity and the behavior of GFRP RC columns when increasing GFRP reinforcement ratios. Based on the numerical simulation results presented in this study, the following conclusions can be drawn:
1. Numerical simulation model of GFRP RC columns based on CDP model and the linear stress-strain relationship of GFRP bars gives similar results to the experiment. Therefore, the proposed simulation technique of columns is reliable and can be used for parametric study;
2. Using the compressive strength of GFRP bar equal to about 60 % of the tensile strength when Lf/dj<8 and additional reduction coefficient when Lf/df> 8 for numerical simulation model of GFRP RC columns gives consistent results with experimental values;
3. - Concrete strength significantly influences the load-bearing capacity and the behavior of the GFRP RC columns in both elastic and nonlinear stages. Using high-strength concrete reduces ductility of the column and decreases the contribution of GFRP bars to load-carrying capacity of columns. Changing the class of
concrete from B30 to B60 leads to a decrease in the contribution to load-bearing capacity of columns from 4.73 % to 2.74 %;
4. - Tie spacing greatly affects the bearing capacity and behavior of the column, especially in the nonlinear stage. Reducing the tie spacing increases the flexibility of the column, the confinement effect and the stability of the longitudinal GFRP bars, thereby increases the bearing capacity of the columns. From parametric study results in this paper, it is recommended that the maximum tie spacing in GFRP RC columns should be smaller than 8d;
5. - Increase of longitudinal GFRP reinforcement ratio improves the bearing capacity and ductility of the columns.
