CONSTRUCTION and ARCHITECTURE IN AZERBAIJAN

Summary

The article is devoted to the results of a study of the effectiveness of external strengthening of reinforced concrete bending elements with reinforced basalt and fiberglass. The authors present the results of experimental studies conducted at the institute in 2025. The results of tests on strengthening bending reinforced concrete beams with basalt and fiberglass composite materials are described in detail. When testing model samples, unidirectional basalt fiber fabric and bidirectional fiberglass materials used. During the tests, the load-bearing capacity of the samples, the limit of cracking, the actual deflections depending on the load, and the tensile index of the reinforcing materials on the tensile surface of the beams recorded. In the text, based on the results of the conducted research in mathematics, recommendations given for strengthening bendable reinforced concrete structures by the method of surface gluing with accepted materials. The article presents photographic materials of the tests
