Abstract

Abstract The main objective of this study to increase the durability of beam by using the various types of jacketing techniques. In this research, I am considering the two methods for retrofitting the beams, i.e. the first method is Reinforced Concrete jacket (RC), other is carbon fiber reinforced polymer jacket (CFRP). In this study, 100 mm thickness of RC jacketing is used at all four sides of the beam while the CFRP with different thickness of sheet are used. After casting the beams, the point load test is done on loading frame machine and check the crack, ultimate strength in the beam and comparing the results and cost of all different types of retrofit techniques for reinforced concrete. The Analyses have also performed in ABAQUS software and then validation is done by comparing the deformation and stress behavior in ABAQUS and experimentally. The conclusion of this study shows that the RC jacketing strength increased by 63% where as in CFRP it increases by 48.5%. The test results show that the RC jacketing gain more strength then other jacketing methods and increase the flexural strength.
