This work presents a critial review of current trends in strengthening and repairing of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures using modern materials.

Abstract

This work presents a critial review of current trends in strengthening and repairing of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures using modern materials. The attention is particularly given to the applica# on of High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (HPFRC) jackets, being in the focus of scientific community in the past few years. Based on the literature review and state-of-the art in this fi eld, a comparison has been done with other widely used techniques, such as external bonding of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites or RC overlaying. Moreover, the technique eff ectiveness has been discussed analysing experimental results available in the literature, not only in terms of engineering features (e.g. load capacity or fi re resistance), but also considering particular aspects in case of application to the RC heritage structures, being an important part of Europe’s modern heritage.
