Abstract Fire-induced damage is a serious threat to the structural integrity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams , necessitating an effective retrofitting strategy to restore and improve their performance . This study investigates the structural performance of fire-damaged RC beams retrofitted with bamboo fiber laminates.

Structural Evaluation of Reinforced Concrete Beams Retrofitted using ...
Shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams has become increasingly important for improving the safety and durability of existing structures. This study focuses on the behavior of RC beams strengthened using cold-formed steel plates installed diagonally at a 45-degree angle.
The use of cold-formed steel plates as retrofitting material in reinforced concrete beam remains limited; thus, this study focuses on the behavior of RC beams strengthened using cold-formed steel plates installed diagonally at a 45-degree angle and bonded with epoxy adhesive.

Structural Performance of Flexural and Shear
Experimental testing and finite-element analysis (FEA) are performed to evaluate the effect of glass fabric- reinforced cementitious matrix (GFRCM) on the flexural and shear deficiencies of pre-cracked, retrofitted reinforced concrete (RC) beams .
Compared to non- retrofitted reinforced concrete beams , the ductility capacity increased by about 2.5 times. This confirms that the application of the proposed retrofitting method can improve the structural performance of existing concrete members.

Experimental and numerical analyses of RC beams retrofitted with ...
The durability of a reinforced concrete (RC) project depends on factors that affect its ability to withstand environmental and mechanical stresses throughout its service life. As essential load-bearing elements in most structures, RC beams play a critical role in providing structural integrity and capacity to the entire structures. If the beams deteriorate prematurely, the whole project could ...
