- Although the addition of Reinforced Concrete (RC) layers is commonly performed for strengthening existing structures, the durability and the corrosion resistance of these layers are still not well understood. This paper is significant because it quantifies for the first time the durability and the efficiency of Steel Fibre Reinforced Geopolymer Concrete (SFRGC) layers and jackets for improving the load capacity and ductility of existing RC beams. The research revealed a superior performance for beams strengthened with SFRGC, and demonstrated how to improve the connection between the RC beam and SFRGC layers.
