The need of structural retrofitting and strengthening of different buildings, engineering structures or their elements is always present. Among the main reasons are demages and material deterioration due to aging, improper maintenance or physical damages; planed repairs; reconstruction or extension of the building; technical modification or complete change of operations inside the building or the structure, etc. In some cases operation of the building during retrofitting or strengthening of its structures has to be partially or fully stopped. In other cases the strengthening process takes place while the building is still operational which means that structures are strengthened under service loads. The main goal of this research is to determine the strengthening effect of reinforced concrete jacketing applied to columns under service load level. For that the experimental study of six reinforced concrete columns were carried out: four reference columns, both strengthened by jacketing and unstrengthened and two strengthened under service load. The main results of the research are presented.

Using a method described previously (Baxter et al. 1966), an experimental study has been made of the time distribution of energy from the shower front of large extensive air showers detected by the Haverah Park 500-m array. Data are given on the mean time of arrival of energy in showers at axial distances over the range 250–950 m for all zenith angles, while average time distributions of the energy in the shower front are presented for some typical distance and zenith angle intervals. Experimental observations are compared with a theoretical prediction; a real discrepancy appears to exist between theory and experiment since about 25% more energy is observed in the 25 ns after the first detectable signal than is predicted. The result suggests a higher or more concentrated origin for muons than normally assumed.Assessment of measurement errors, particularly those arising from the sampling of a diffuse shower front by detectors of finite size, suggests that no intrinsic differences in the properties of the majority of air showers have yet been detected by this method.

Overall 12 specimens were experimentally investigated in this paper to study the hysteretic behaviors of the concrete-filled square CFRP-steel tubular (S-CFRP-CFST) beam-columns. The test results indicated that CFRP can provide transverse confinement effect and longitudinal strengthening effect for the concrete filled square steel tubular (S-CFST) beam-columns effectively and the local buckling of the steel tube is deferred. The hysteretic load-deflection curves and the hysteretic moment-curvature curves at the mid-span of all the specimens are generally plump, and it shows these specimens have good hysteretic performance. In the later loading period, the load bearing capacity drops.

A test of bending resistance and reinforcement is carried out on RC beams by applying sheet of glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP). A study and analysis is given to the traits of bending and rupture of RC beams reinforced by applying GFRP and to the effect of GFRP on ultimate bearing capacity and stiffness of the beams. The strengthening effect is investigated to give guidance in practice work.
