Abstract:
An experimental study was performed on jacketed reinforced concrete T-beams. Full-size beams were cast and provided with an external cage of tensile and shear reinforcement cast within a new jacket of concrete pressure grouted around the beam to obtain increased flexural capacity. Beams were then tested for maximum flexural capacity.
