Presented and analyzed data on the results of tests of short reinforced concrete columns with the flexibility λh = 10 strengthened by CFRP for external applying force with an eccentricity e0 = 2 cm. The effect of strengthening on the bearing capacity and deformability of columns when a load is applied to the inside of the core-section.

Keywords: concrete, reinforced concrete, reinforcement, CFRP, load, strength, deformability.
