Abstract

Eight common reinforced concrete columns were damaged by different sizes loads. The damaged reinforced concrete columns were strengthened by reinforcement mesh steel fiber. Three identical test pieces were made to explore the dispersion of the reinforcement method. The axial compression experiment was researched by factor of mortar types, damage degree, the lateral and longitudinal spacing. The formula of the axial bearing capacity of damaged square columns were strengthened by reinforcement mesh steel fiber was proposed. The calculated values agreed well with the experimental results. The test results showed that the damaged square columns were strengthened by reinforcement mesh steel fiber was an effective reinforcement method. This method was less discrete and can not only improve the ultimate bearing capacity, cracking load ductility and anti-cracking ability, but also the mechanical properties and failure mode can be effectively improved.
