the strength, ductility and energy dissipation capacity of axially
loaded post-heated columns greater compared to ferrocement
jackets. However, the contribution of FRP jackets for the restoration
of stiffness of post-heated columns is not significant and far
lower when compared to ferrocement jackets. The restoration of
both strength and stiffness are vital for the reinstatement of fire
damaged concrete structures. Therefore, to restore both the
strength and stiffness of fire damaged concrete columns a possible
combination of both materials (FRP and ferrocement jackets)
should be considered, even though the use of ferrocement can be
labour intensive. In addition, some passive fire protection may be
required for the FRP to remain effective should the fire damaged
reinstated structures be subjected to a future fire.
