Strengthening of RCC Beam Using Polymer Modified Ferrocement

摘要

This Paper is proposed a method for strengthening reinforced concrete beams using polymer modified Ferro cement laminates. The experimental results are reported and discussed including strength, deflection, moment and curvature characteristic of the strengthened specimen. For the eight beams of size 3200mm in length, 125mm width and 250mm depth out of eight beams two as control specimen and tested for ultimate load with two point loading. The remaining six beams were strengthened by ferrcement laminates with different volume fraction (V_r = 3.554%, 4.991% 6.429%). The theoretical and experimental moments - curvature behavior for control specimen compared with ferrocement laminated beams.
