Thermally Damaged Concrete: Repair through Textile-Reinforced Mortar Jackets

Abstract

Abstract The paper explores the residual mechanical properties of concrete subjected to high temperatures and assesses the effectiveness of confining jackets with textile-reinforced mortars (TRMs) in restoring the axial strength of thermally damaged ... Practical Applications This research brings to the attention of building professionals a new solution for repairing concrete structures damaged by fire or extreme heat exposure. When construction facilities experience fire, concrete elements can lose ...
