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.

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.

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.
