Abstract:
The paper and its study deals with the comparison in flexural strength of RC beams laminated with Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) and/or Glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP). The main aim of this study to provide alternatives for CFRP as it is very costly material and made from non-renewable sources which are available in very few quantity. Various existing structures need changes in it due either end of its load bearing capacity or effects of corrosive chemicals, seepage, and other various defects in structure. Seismic retrofitting of constructions vulnerable to earthquakes is a current problem of great political and social relevance. The study is based on the behaviour and comparison of RC structures which were laminated and strengthened with CFRP and GFRP.
