Description:

This research addresses the deterioration of concrete infrastructures, emphasizing the efficacy of Fiber-Reinforced Self-Compacting Concrete (FRSCC) in repair applications. The study investigates the bond strengths between new and existing concrete layers, employing both experimental and numerical methods to evaluate traditional and innovative testing approaches, including slant shear and push-out tests. Results demonstrate that FRSCC, enhanced with polypropylene fibers, significantly improves structural resilience and mechanical properties. The introduction of fuzzy logic models further refines the prediction of bond strengths, offering a robust framework for future concrete technology advancements.
