Experimental Study on Flexural Behaviour of RCC Beam Using Natural Fiber Wrapping

Abstract

For a variety of causes, the infrastructure associated with Reinforced Concrete (RC) constructions has been shown to be structurally deficient, and the ageing of such structures is frequently recorded. The External strengthening using jute fibre Composites are rapidly gaining acceptance as a cost effective and widely accepted in engineering practice. However, this system requires specialized surface preparation of the concrete to develop adequate bond strength between the jute fibre strip the concrete substrate. The main objective of this investigation the behaviour of RC beams. The beams were tested until failure to understand the contribution of fasteners on the behavior of RC beams. The experimental results revealed that the introduction of fasteners significantly increases the composite action between the concrete and jute fibre. To study the flexural behaviour of RC beams strengthened using natural fibre wrapping. To study the behaviour of reinforced concrete beams with and without FRPScheme of wrapping, Types of FRP used.To increase ductility of concrete beam whenever repair and strengthening process involved. To study the behaviour of concrete beam with and without FRP strengthening techniques.To study flexural behaviour of beam under loading conditions. To arrive the mix ratio for M40Comparitive study on increased strength of beam by using jute fibre retrofitting techniques.
