Abstract:High temperatures during a fire can significantly degrade the structural capacity of concrete. However, in many cases, it is possible to restore and strengthen fire-damaged concrete rather than completely rebuild damaged structures. The study considered two types of concrete (normal 25 MPa and high-strength 65 MPa) with two types of strengthening techniques: carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) sheets with different thicknesses of 1.5 and 2.5 mm and slurry-infiltrated fibrous concrete (SIFCON) jacketing wit… Show more
