Test results have indicated that the proposed
rehabilitation method can improve seismic performance of interior beam–column joints using ferrocement
with high strength mortar. Strength of mortar is the vital factor affecting the performance of
strengthened specimens. Anchor bolts installed at the interface between ferrocement and concrete substrate
improve bonding and overall performance. Finally, a method for predicting the shear strength of
joints rehabilitated by ferrocement jackets with embedded diagonal reinforcements is proposed.
