Abstract
The aim of this paper is to investigate the serviceability performance of RC beams strengthened through two Ferrocement strengthening techniques as Cast in situ Wire-mesh layers and precast Ferrocement Laminates. To assess the effectiveness of these strengthening techniques, eight (08) RC beams have been intentionally designed and detailed as a tension-controlled section and tested under two-point loading up to service load of 40 kN. Then, beams were strengthened by Cast in situ Wire-mesh layers and by precast Ferrocement Laminates. Experimental results in terms of stiffness have been compared within and across the groups to assess the effect of variation of development length and no. of wire-mesh layers.
