Repair and strengthening of bamboo reinforced acrylic polymer modified square concrete columns using ferrocement jackets

This study investigated the role of acrylic polymer as concrete matrix modifier and ferrocement jacket confinement to repair and strengthen treated bamboo reinforced square concrete columns. 30 concrete columns (CC) of 150 × 150 × 600mm were produced using cement:sand:aggregate ratio of 1:3:3 and a polymer:cement ratio of 1:10 based on ACI 548.3R standard. 10 CCs’ were produced from both conventional and modified concrete which were tested until...
