Demonstration of Retrofitted Concrete Cubes, Cylinders and Prisms using Basalt and Glass Wrap

Abstract

Nowadays improvement in infrastructure construction is raising its place in the present scenario. But around the globe many reinforced masonry and concrete buildings are constructed annually. There are massive numbers of structures which become worse due to adjustments in use, adjustments in loading condition and modifications in design configuration, inferior construction, and material used or natural calamities. Thus, repairing and retrofitting of this structure for secure usage of has a top notch marketplace. There are several conditions wherein a civil structure might require retrofitting. In this paper an attempt has been taken to study the strength enhancement of concrete cylinders and prisms using Basalt fibre wrap, Nitro wrap and nylon wrap.. Cubes, cylinders and prisms are tested for compressive strength test, split tensile strength test, flexural strength. Then the conventional specimens and synthetic wrapped results are compared
