Abstract: Maintenance, repair and strengthening of existing concrete structures, either reinforced or prestressed,are important activities of civil engineers. Nowadays different techniques are available for the strengthening. Various techniques were adopted for strengthening RC structures, namely, steel plates, external post tensioning, externally bonded Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP), and near- surface-mounted FRP systems to increase shear and flexural capacity. During the last few decades, strengthening of concrete structural elements by fibre-reinforced polymer has become a widely used technique. But it has several disadvantages due to the epoxy resin like debonding of FRP from the concrete structure, unstable nature of the epoxy at higher temperatures etc. To overcome this, an upgraded system was introduced as an alternative for FRP known as Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Matrices (FRCM). The objective of this paper is to investigate the feasibility of Fibre-Reinforced Cementitious-Matrix materials as an alternative external strengthening technique for RC members. Columns with circular geometry were wrapped with different fibre materials using cementitious matrix. The analysis was done using ANSYS software.
