This study exemplifies the results of comprehensive experimental investigation on the behaviour of axially loaded Reinforced Concrete (RC) rectangular columns repaired with Glass fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Fabrics. Totally ten RC rectangular specimens were fabricated and tested under axial compression load. Two specimens were retained as contr...

... test results of concrete strength cubes at the age of 7, 14 and 28 days are shown in Table 1. Figure 1 shows the average compressive strength of concrete cube at various ages. ...Context 2
... obtained gain in percentage of enhancement of compressive load of the repaired rectangular columns CS2, CS3, CS4, and CS5 with slenderness ratio 3.33 was 50%, 39%, 34%, and 45% greater over the control specimen. Table 1 shows the external strengthening GFRP patterns and test results of the control and precracked-repaired specimens. ...Similar publications
Research indicates that uniformly distributed loading leads to higher reinforced concrete (RC) beam shear capacity, compared to 1 or 2 point loading. For example, this fact is indicated quite clearly in the two basic design equations of the ACI Code, where ACI Eq.(11.3) uses only
that does not include the effect of load distribution; while in contr...
This research examined the effects of micro-straight steel fiber percentage and column form on the punching shear of SFRC slabs. Fibers made of micro steel with a diameter of 0.2 mm and a length of 13mm with an aspect ratio equal to 65 were used. The fiber content varied between 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% by volume. Four different types of concrete mixes w...
This work studies the effect of short-term exposure to the temperatures of -15°C, 5°C, 40°C and 60°C on the flexural performance of Fibre Reinforced Concretes (FRCs) with steel and synthetic fibres in cracked conditions. The results will be compared with the performance in cracked conditions at 20°C (submerged and air environments). The content of...
Reinforced concrete (RC) walls support the vertical and lateral loads and act as impediments to prevent fire spread. Fire incidents affect the material properties and induce thermal and transient strains. This paper focusses on the unrestrained thermal curvatures of RC walls, which can affect their structural capacity and induce additional demands...
This paper discusses a study on the use of wood ash as partial replacement of cement and waste glass as partial replacement of fine aggregate in concrete. Wood ash was used to replace cement at 5% and 10% and waste glass was used to replace fine aggregate at 10% and 15%. When wood ash was added to concrete, the compressive strength of concrete was...
