| ABSTRACT This paper presents the experimental results of a reinforced concrete beams (RC) strengthened with internal steel fibers (SF) and external glass fiber reinforced polymer laminates (GFRP). The research work studied the load carrying capacity, deformation, crack width and ductility of the reinforced concrete beams strengthened with different steel fiber ratios and steel fiber reinforced concrete beams strengthened with three different glass fiber reinforced polymer laminates of two different thickness. The experimental results clearly shows that incorporating steel fibers in to the reinforced concrete beams reduced the crack width and distribute the crack evenly and also increases the bonding between tension face of the beam with glass fiber... |
