Torsional Performance of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened Using Hybrid Fibers Sifcon Jacketing by Mohammed Mohammed J., Al-Azzawi Adel A.

“…The main aim is to investigate the influence of hybrid fiber Slurry Infiltrated Fiber Concrete (SIFCON) strengthening of beams loaded under pure torsion. The volume percentage of fiber was constant at 5%. Seven beams underwent pure torsion testing after being cast., two beams were taken as a reference (The first one without torsional reinforcement and the second beam with torsional reinforcement), and five beams were strengthened by a SIFCON jacket, One beam fully jacketed, and four beams with three-side jacket. …”
