Seismic Rehabilitation of RCC Beam-Column Joint

Beam-Column joints are critical regions in reinforced con which are most vulnerable or sensitive to seismic forces. Hence strengthening and rehabilitant beam-column joint is imperative to save the structure and its inhabitants in case of earthquake forces. Numerous and large scale retrofit reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are being undertaken worldwide. This experimental study aims to investigate the effectiveness of strengthening beam joints using synthetic fibres. In this study, Aramid fiber (synthetic fibr strengthening and rehabilitant of beam and tested under monotonic loading with the help of universal testing machine. At the end, test results of control and rehabilitated samples were compared t experimental conclusions in all tested specimens will embolden future investigations in same direction for long term performance to enhancing this AFRP in structural applications.
