Abstract

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures have been an integral part of today’s civilization. The strength and stability of a RC structure come to stake when it is exposed to corrosion. Thus the focus of the research is to inspect real sized Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams subjected to various level of corrosion and re-strengthening them using Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP). With increase in the corrosion level the RC beams indicated increase in brittleness and reduced ductility as the steel area is reduced drastically. A substantially increase in ultimate load and deflection characteristics is observed when corroded beams were repaired using GFRP. This Research facilitate the use of GFRP sheets to rehabilitate structures subjected to savior damage due to corrosion.
