Experimental Study on the Behaviour of Retrofitting the RC beam Using GFRP and PFRP Bargavi B1, Barkavi Selvi B2, Jeevitha P3, Priya S4, Priyanka R5, Sathya C6 1,2,3,4,5,6 Third Year Students, Department of Civil Engineering, Vidyaa Vikas College of Engineering and Technology, Tiruchengode, India Abstract: Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composite is an alternative solution for strengthening of structure widely used in the world. Advantages given by this material is properly considered such as resistance against corrosion, no heavy additional equipment in application. It is economical to rehabilitate the structures using FRP sheets. This project deals with the study of retrofitting the RC beams using Glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) and Polypropylene fibre reinforced polymer (PFRP). Seven beams of cross section 150 X 300mm and length of 1.5m were casted, one is control beam and remaining six beams were divided in to two groups, one group is strengthened at bottom and another group is strengthened at bottom and both sides of the beam (U shape). 1st one is monolithic wrapping of GFRP, 2nd is monolithic wrapping of PFRP and the 3rd is hybrid wrapping of both GFRP and PFRP. The effective use of GFRP and PFRP in strengthening of RC beams was studied by measuring the load carrying capacity, ductile behaviour and by observing failure modes. Tests results reveal that strengthened beams gives more load carrying capacity and also showed good ductile behaviour compared to control beam.

Strength and Durability Characteristics of Incinerated Egg Shell Powder in Concrete sharmila S1, Sowmiya M2, Roja G3, Sumithra4, Kirubhashini M5, Poongodi P6 1,2,3,4,5,6 Third Year Students, Department of Civil Engineering, Vidyaa Vikas College of Engineering and Technology, Tiruchengode, India Abstract: This paper reports the results of experiments evaluating the use of Incinerated Egg Shell Powder (IESP) from egg production industry as partial replacement for Ordinary Portland Cement in concrete. The egg shell powder was incinerated at 900⁰C for 1 hour. The chemical composition of the IESP and the compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength of concrete containing IESP was determined. The concrete used was of grade M20 and ratio of 1:1.5:3 and IESP was replaced partially by 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% to the weight of cement. The compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength was determined at curing ages 7 and 28 days. In this direction, an experimental investigation of compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength was undertaken to use IESP and admixtures as partial replacement for cement in concrete.
