| dc.description.abstract | This paper presents an overview of
strengthening of reinforced concrete
structures. Structural elements are
normally designed to suit the various
types of loadings. However many civil
structural elements, reinforced concrete
beams as an example are often required
to be upgraded or strengthened due to
increased load requirements. In this
paper, strengthening by using sprayed
concrete, ferrocement, steel plate and
fibre reinforced polymer (FRP), and the
methods of applying these materials are
reviewed. Experimental results of three
beam specimens that were carried out by
the authors are also reported to evaluate
the behaviour of strengthened reinforced
concrete beams. The experimental results
showed that strengthened beams using
steel plate and FRP had higher failure
load compared to un-strengthened beam.
Results also indicated that FRP laminate
was more effective in increasing the
beam strength compared to steel plate. | en_US |
