There is a common phenomenon of shear failure in RCC beams, especially in old buildings and bridges. Any possible strengthening of such beams is needed to be explored that could strengthen and make them fit for serviceable conditions. The present research has been made to determine the performance of predamaged beams strengthened with three-layered wire mesh polymer-modified ferrocement (PMF) with 15% styrene-butadiene-rubber latex (SBR) polymer. Forty-eight shear-designed and shear-deficient real-size beams were used in this experimental work. Ultimate shear load-carrying capacity of control beams was found at two different shear-span (a/d) ratios 1 and 3. The sets of remaining beams were loaded with different predetermined damage levels of 45%, 75%, and 95% of the ultimate load values and then strengthened with 20 mm thick PMF. The strengthened beams were then again tested for ultimate load-carrying capacity by conducting the shear load test at a/d = 1 and 3. As a result, the PMF-strengthened beams showed restoration and enhancement of ultimate shear load-carrying capacity by 5.90% to 12.03%. The ductility of strengthened beams was improved, and hence, the corresponding deflections were prolonged. On the other hand, the cracking pattern of PMF-strengthened beams was also improved remarkably.

Taking a flyover as the background, this paper compares two reinforcement scheme, and ultimately chooses the paste carbon fiber polymer method to reinforce the bridge. It calculates and analyzes the structure before and after the reinforcement, then compares the stress state , shear load-carrying capacity and flexural capacity. At last ,it evaluates the effect of the paste carbon fiber polymer method and puts forward some suggestions.

Glass fibre reinforcement polymers (GFRP) application for reinforcement of wood, concrete and steel member is relatively becoming more variety in construction applications. Although it is possible to build large monolithic structures with composite materials, there are still several reasons for the structure to fail. One of the main reasons that contribute to this failure is the connection performance due to its function in carrying load across the structure. Thus having the right fundamental data for connection design purposes according to the specific and technological upgraded materials is very important. One of the basic methodologies in gaining the design data is through experimental double shear test which can be verified by European Yield Model (EYM) theory. Therefore, the objective of this research is to determine the load carrying capacity of double shear strength behaviour connections made of Kempas timber species as the main member and dowelled by the GFRP or the Kempas rod. The specimens were tested under the shear load with 2mm/min rate and tested until failure. From the experiment, it was found that the average ultimate shear strength of member dowelled with GFRP rod is 21.36% higher compared to one doweled with Kempas rod. According to mode of failure between two types of bolt, GFRP dowelled performs well (Mode I& IV) rather than Kempas dowelled (Mode IV).

Girder Bridge

The objective of the study was to verify the load-carrying capacity of an existing steel girder bridge. The selected structure was a 70-year-old deteriorated bridge in Michigan. The load-carrying capacity of the bridge was in question because of extensive corrosion of the steel girders. An initial rating indicated that the bridge had a marginal operating rating factor for 11-axle two-unit trucks, which are the heaviest vehicles allowed in Michigan. To avoid the load limit posting, it was decided that investigators would verify by nondestructive testing whether the bridge is safe to carry normal truck traffic. The test procedures used on the selected bridge included tests for obtaining stress histogram measurements and weigh-in-motion measurements and a proof load test. The methodology and the results are described.
