- Adding reinforced concrete layers is one of the most commonly used techniques for the strengthening of existing structures. This paper is significant because it is one of the first studies demonstrating the effectiveness of Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concretes (UHPFRC) for strengthening reinforced concrete beams. The research quantified for the first time the local debonding and slip at the interface between the reinforced concrete structure and the UHPFRC layer, revealing how to achieve higher load carrying capacity.
