Abstract
In this study, analytical and experimental investigations were conducted to clarify the effect of clad reinforcement by polyethylene fiber reinforced mortar (PEFRM) on flexural characteristics of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with polyethylene fiber sheets. High-performance polyethylene fibers (PEF) were used for making the PEFRM with high tensile strength. The PEFRM-cladding was performed on the tensile side of the RC beam. The RC beams strengthened with the PEFRM-cladding and the sheets were tested under pure bending. As a result, it was shown that the PEFRM-cladding has a remarkable effect on an improvement of flexural reinforcement by the sheets of the RC beam.
