Abstract

Reinforced concrete structures often suffer damage due to overloading, natural disaster, environmental impact
etc. this cause damage and failure of the structural element. The failure of the authoritative structure element like column
may lead to severe damage of frame structure as it transfer the load of the super structure to the foundation. To strengthened
damaged column various materials like glass fiber, aramid fiber, ferrocement, steel plates etc. can be used. In this study,
short RCC column specimen tested under different percentage of ultimate load (100%, 75% & 50%), then this preloaded
column specimen strengthened using ferrocement with different mesh pattern ( 0&45 degree) and different ferrocemnt
thickness (15 mm& 25 mm). Then this strengthened column specimen retested to find its ultimate load carrying capacity. Test
result shows the strengthening column using ferrocement increase its load carrying capacity.
