Improvement in Properties of Circular Columns using Welded Wire Mesh WWM An Experimental Study

Conventional steel tied reinforcement may not provide superior confinement for reinforced cement concrete columns RCC . Based on different experimental observations and theoretical literature review many materials like FRP, WWF etc. were used as reinforcements to increase the load bearing capacity and ductility of the structural members. One such material welded wire mesh WWM is used in this project work to improve the confinement and ductility. This work aims to define how confinement and improvement will help compression members Circular column to increase their ductility. A welded wire mesh was added to the previous reinforcement. Sample used were categorized in two categories, samples confined using conventional methods and others with improved confinement. Firstly, the samples were prepared using conventional methods, and then testing was done. After this the same samples were prepared using additional reinforcement i.e., using WWM. A layer of WWM was warped on the outer periphery of the longitudinal reinforcement and then further casting and testing was done. The samples were casted in mould, de moulded after a time interval and they were cured for a certain time interval and then were being tested under axial loading till failure. The results shows that properties of the samples made up by using additional WWM were improved than the conventional confinement samples. Abhishek Dubey | Dr. A. K. Jha | Dr. R. S.
