A noble cause motivated the interest to carry out research work on an inexpensive strengthening technique using ferrocement for reinforced concrete beams applicable in developing countries. Ferrocement as an inexpensive ...

This paper presents an experimental study on the efficacy of near-surface mounted (NSM) hybrid carbon/glass fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) strips for the strengthening of shear-critical reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams. ...

The experimental study on the shear strengthening the efficacy of a recently introduced hybrid carbon/glass fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) for reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams has been presented in this study. The hybrid ...

Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) systems are becoming an excellent choice for the shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams owing to their excellent structural performance and compatibility with the ...

The strength and deformation performances of fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM Uwrapped reinforced concrete (RC) beams has been studied in this work. Nine RC beams were used to assess this strengthening technique, ...

Steel reinforced polymers (SRP) are useful in a wide range of applications, including strengthening of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures, due to their numerous advantages like high strength, low maintenance, ...

This paper presents the results of a research program examining the post-repair flexural response of corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) beams repaired with different FRCM systems. A total of nine RC beams were ...

This paper presents a finite-element (FE) study conducted to investigate the deflections of newly constructed cantilevered slabs built for a medical facility expansion. From the beginning of the construction stage, the ...

This paper presents the results of 3D finite element (FE) modelling of corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in flexure with externally-bonded composites. The models were validated against the results ...

Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites are usually surface-applied for strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) structures. The efficacy of the FRCM strengthening systems is dependent on the FRCM/concrete ...
