In this paper, the hybrid prefabricated retrofit method is suggested and examined. Six specimens were manufactured in order to evaluate their flexural performance of RC beams. Test parameters include the added beam depth, the thickness of bottom plate, the number of the steel plate with openings. The effects of these parameters on the flexural performance of reinforced concrete beams were examined. The load-deflection behavior and modes of cracks are presented from the test results. At the test result, the flexural capacity and the ductility of the hybrid prefabricated retrofit method was increased satbly. Also, comparing the flexural performance of RC beam and retrofitted RC beams, it was increased that the flexural strength is about 3.3 times, the ductility is about 2.55 times, and energy dissipation capacity is about 7.34 times.

This study proposes a hybrid system of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) and ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) to enhance flexural strength of existing reinforced concrete (RC) slabs. The proposed system is designed to be placed at the top surface of the slabs for flexural strengthening of the sections in both positive and negative moment zones. The enhancing mechanisms of the proposed system for both positive and negative moment regions are presented. Moreover, to prevent the compression in FRP of the enhanced sections in positive moment zone at flexural failure, neutral axis of the sections at failure is enforced to be in UHPC overlay. From this condition, a relationship between design parameters of FRP and UHPC is established.
