Abstract:

This project evaluated the structural performance of Sileto for retrofit and precast applications through proof-of-concept laboratory testing. The program included 4-point flexural tests on composite beams, 3-point flexural tests on slabs and a railroad tie, and axial compression tests on concrete columns jacketed with Sileto. Variables included Sileto type, placement (tension or compression zone), and reinforcement. Results showed that placing Sileto on the tension side significantly increased flexural capacity, while placement in compression had limited effect. Jacketed columns exhibited strong bond and increased axial capacity, especially with longitudinal reinforcement. Slab tests confirmed high bending resistance.
