Abstract

Engineering fiber-reinforced cementitious composite (ECC) has good ductility and crack control ability, and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) has high bearing capacity. Combining the two can effectively enhance the flexural mechanical properties of reinforced concrete beams. This paper introduces ECC and fiber-reinforced composite materials, and the effects of this reinforcement method on cracks, deflection, and bearing capacity of reinforced concrete beams are reviewed.
