An Experimental Work on Rehabilitation Method of Beam Reinforcement by Using Meshing & Stitching Method

Structural rehabilitation has become a major strategy that is vital for enhance and upgrading the efficiency of repairing defected structural elements. The deterioration of RC structures along with the dissimilarity and the prices of repairing actions have laid to encouragement of innovation of new repair materials and new strategies for structure recovery.The most widely recognized reason for untimely material deterioration is when the structure is subjected to the harsh environment, thus leading to the corrosion of the structure. Corrosion is like a dis- ease for the strengthened structure since it damages the reinforcement in it, which influences its quality and its life expectancy. Due to corrosion, various defects are caused such as reduction in cross section area of the bar, reduction in ductility, brown patches, spalling of concrete cover, etc. Also, reduction in strength, stiffness, serviceability and load carrying capacity is adversely affected. As the bar reduces in diameter, moment carrying capacity and shear capacities are reduced in the member.
