Researcher : Assoc. Prof. Ts. Ir. Dr. Ma Chau Khun (machaukhun@utm.my)
About this Research
The repairing of damaged columns has become more important since the failure of damage column contributed to the serious consequences in structural stability. Steel strapping tensioning technique (SSTT) is the new technique to repair concrete.
- Features
- Effective for HSC
- Customizable layer and spacing
- Benefit
- Pre-tensioning confinement will provide effective lateral confining pressure
- Enhance the strength, stiffness and ductility
- Prevents sudden failure
- Cost Effective & Sustainable
- Use low cost recycle steel straps
