Retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete Beams using Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC)

Underspanned Bridge Structures in Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC)

Adapted structures must be developed so that modern reactive powder concretes (RPC) can be incorporated into new construction projects in an efficient and logical way. The steps of this development, from the analysis of the material characteristics, to the determination of the structural requirements, to the arrival at an appropriate adapted structure are described. An Outlook on the developmen...

Retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Steel Fiber Reinforced Composite Jackets

In the present study, a new method for retrofitting reinforced concrete beam is introduced in which steel-concrete composite jackets containing steel fiber is used. For this purpose, 75% of the peripheral surface of reinforced concrete beams was initially reinforced using steel plates and bolts, and steel fiber reinforced concrete was used between the steel plates and the peripheral surfaces of...

High Performance Reinforced Concrete Beams made with Sandstone Reactive Aggregates

An investigation on the flexural behaviour of reinforced high performance concrete (HPC) has been conducted. Crushed sandstone known as reactive aggregate was used for both fine and coarse aggregates. In addition, mineral admixtures such as silica fume and fly ash combined with superplasticiser was used. The beams were made with concrete having compressive strength in the range of 74 88 N/mm 2 ...
