Reinforcing reinforced concrete (RC) beams with galvanized welded steel wire mesh is one of the latest technologies applied in retrofitting. For each sample, the experimental evaluation of 18 small reinforced concrete beam samples with a total length of 1200 mm was carried out to study the bending strength under static load conditions. Experimental testing has been carried out to the activated failure mode, with 11 reinforced samples, 4 integrally cast control beams and three original control beams. Based on the test variables, namely SWM characteristics and connection mechanism, the reinforced beams are divided into two groups A and B. This study also clarified the bending resistance, ductility, stiffness, crack width and deflection. According to the test results obtained, all reinforced beams are designed to fail ductilely. The first group of reinforced beams recovered to an average of 110% of the bearing capacity of the original control beam, while the second group of reinforced beams recovered to an average of 163%. Furthermore, it was found that the reinforcement beam functions in the same way as the general control beam and works as a unit. Therefore, the bottom line is that this reinforcement technology can be used confidently in real-life applications, especially in low- cost buildings.

The present experimental work investigates the applicability and performance of a new strengthening method for concrete slabs, intended to increase their punching resistance using combination layers of steel wire mesh with epoxy attached to the concrete slabs’ tension face. Six simply supported square reinforced concrete slab specimens were tested up to failure under a central concentrated load. The main parameters in the study are the concrete compressive strength (30 MPa and 65 MPa) and the configuration of a bundle externally fixed to the tension side of the tested slabs. The experimental results appeared to greatly enhance the performance of the specimens, as they were externally strengthenined under this new method. When compared to the control slabs, the punching load and stiffness of the strengthened slabs increased up to 28% and 21%, respectively.

High strength stainless steel wire mesh-polymer mortar reinforcement method was a kind of advanced reinforcement technique.The present study attempted to do a model analysis on the test of the high strength steel wire mesh-polymer mortar reinforcement of less stress beams by using finite element software ANSYS. The study was conducted through the analysis of the three factors of the tested bending reinforcement beam’s deflection, deformation and stress and comparison of the changes of the beam’s ultimate load and failure mode before and after reinforcement.The results of ANSYS analysis and the test showed that the failure mode shifts from less reinforcement damaged into reinforcement destruction;the crack loading value of the reinforced beams increased indicating that the beam bottom reinforcement layer had a significant effect on the increase of the beam’s crack loading. Increased significantly compared to non-reinforced ultimate bearing capacity of reinforced beams. the ANSYS finite element simulation agrees well with the experimental value.
