  • Abstract:
  • This project investigates the efficacy of strengthening undamaged reinforced concrete (RC) beams using aramid fibre reinforced polymer (AFRP) sheets through two different wrapping configurations: U-wrapping and 3-Layers of 100 mm strips. The study aims to enhance the load-carrying capacity and reduce deflection in RC beams measuring 1.7 meters in length, 100 mm in breadth, and 150 mm in depth. The experimental approach involves comprehensive testing, including assessing compressive strength using 150 mm cube specimens, split tensile strength with 150 mm diameter by 300 mm height cylindrical specimens, and flexural strength testing on beam specimens. Additionally, non-destructive testing will utilize a rebound hammer, strategically wrapped within a single layer in 100 mm cube specimens, to evaluate structural integrity and surface hardness. Anticipated outcomes will demonstrate the effectiveness of AFRP sheets in enhancing the strength of undamaged RC beams and highlight the rebound hammer’s suitability for assessing AFRP-reinforced concrete non-destructively. This study contributes valuable insights to structural engineering, focusing on the enhancement and durability of existing concrete structures using advanced composite materials.
