An Experimental Study on Retrofitting Concrete Subjected to Lateral Loading
2020
— In this research project describes the retrofitting of the structural member by GFRP sheet. Generally, RCC structures fail, due to various factors like seismic loads, deterioration of the concrete, corrosion of RC elements, ageing of the structures etc. Due to that effects, the old structures to be rehabilitated in a cost-effective way. One of the process of this retrofitting technique was used to withstand lateral loading and also increasing the strength of the old structures. The recent retrofitting techniques such as concrete jacketing, steel jacketing, Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) wrapping were used in field. From this study, we identified that the load carrying capacity of retrofitted M30 grade of RCC beams using GFRP sheet was increased gradually when compared to conventional beams.
