Abstract

The RC structural elements are of the utmost significance in any structure to bear the loads and transfer, while concrete is a brittle material that can bear deformations to some extent. In order to withstand large deformations, various types of wrapping techniques have been introduced, and because of their high load bearing capacity, they have been widely used in RC structures. This review study focuses on the wrapping strategies that are appropriate for RC beam elements, as well as the nature of nano failure cracks. The construction can be earthquake resistant by adopting various wrapping techniques such as BFRP, CFRP, GFRP, AFRP, and so on. The RC beam subjected to various loads such as blast loads, dynamic loads are discussed in this paper. Wrapping approaches have developed as a viable solution for managing restrictions without requiring significant changes to the structural elements. Wrapping approaches are mostly focused on RC beam elements, and numerous methodologies are explored.
