“…To date, many research have been conducted in the field of concrete mechanical properties improvement (Al Saffar et al, 2019;Fadhil et al, 2018;Sobol et al, 2014;Tayeh, et al, 2013;Abu-Tair, et al, 1996). Low reliability and insufficient bearing capacity of reinforced concrete structures is often a result of faults in manufacturing process and design (Koz, et al 2017;Selejdak, et al, 2018), increased seismic resistance requirements (Alghuff, et al, 2019;Kramarchuk, et al, 2018) causing the need in strengthening or structural retrofitting (Blikharskyy et al 2019;Brozda et al 2018;Vegera, et al, 2018). Therefore, all these problems need to be taken into account in the design of reinforced concrete structures.…”
