Torsional behaviour of reinforced concrete beams with ferrocement U-jacketing—Experimental study

摘要: Abstract Wrapping technology is one of the effective ways strengthening concrete elements. Several researchers reported effectiveness Glass fiber reinforced polymers and carbon for improving strength on three sides methods beams supporting slabs. Available literatures enhancement “U” wrapped elements subjected to torsional loads do not give a detailed insight, whereas this investigation an attempt address issues with ferrocement wrap. Ferrocement wraps are preferred over FRPs because its cost factor. The found provide better torque carrying capacity under all states torsion while members toughness other torsion. Similarly completely more resisting than others. Increase prominent in improvement number mesh layers wrap minimal.
