✦ Synopsis

In this study, the use of ferrocement as an external confinement to concrete specimens is investigated. The effectiveness of confinement is achieved by comparing the behavior of retrofitted specimens with that of conventional specimens. The primary test variable considered in this study is the concrete compressive strength. All the other parameters, such as size, shape, number of layers of wire mesh, and L/d ratio of the specimens, were kept constant. The sections chosen are circular cylinders with a size of 150 mm Â 300 mm and L/d ratio of 6:1. The test results showed that the confined concrete specimens can enhance the ultimate concrete compressive strengths and failure strains.
