An Experimental Study on Enhancement of Strength of Concrete Embers Using Wrapping Technology

Abstract

An Experimental Study On Enhancement Of Strength Of Concrete Embers Using Wrapping Technology Many of the existing reinforced concrete structures throughout the world are in urgent need of rehabilitation, repair or reconstruction because of deterioration due to various factors like corrosion, lack of detailing, failure of bonding between beam-beam joints, increase in service loads etc.

Leading to cracking, spalling, loss of strength, deflection etc. The recent developments in the application of the advanced composites in the construction industry for concrete rehabilitation and strengthening are increasing on the basis of specific requirements, national needs and industry participation.

Conclusion

This paper has provided a review of recent research and field application projects on the FRP retrofit of reinforced concrete columns. The existing investigations have revealed that the use of FRP materials restores or improves the column original design strength for possible axial, shear, or flexure and, in some cases, allows the structure to carry more load than it was designed for.
