Abstract Reinforced concrete (RC) beams are significant structural members in load transferring process in structural skeleton. The load carrying capacity of beams may be decreased by many reasons such as design or execution errors; or difference between the designed and actual loads. To overcome this problem, various strengthening techniques can be used. Strengthening with steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) jacket can enhance the cracking, ultimate loads and stiffness. It is also capable of decreasing the induced deformations. Moreover, it has many advantages over the other methods of strengthening such as the reduced thickness of the jacket, fire resistance and invulnerability against corrosion. |
