Reinforced concrete columns ((0) wherein the exterior surface of the concret e column is wrapped with a composite rein- forcement layer (22). The composite reinforcement layer (22) includes at lea st one fabric layer which is located within a resin ma- trix. The fabric layer (24) has first and second parallel selvedges (34, 36) which extend around the circumferential outer surface of the column in a direction substantially perpendicular to the column axis. Specific weave patterns are disclosed. The composite reinforcement layer provides a quick, simple and effective means for increasing the resistance of concrete columns to failure dur- ing the application of asymmetric loads.
