There are several materials needed for patch repair such as CFRP, steel
plate, epoxy, reinforcement bar, bolts, and other methods. By using the
control specimen, students are required to do flexural testing on the
tested specimen and students are required to repair the specimen using
suggested techniques and methods. The flexural testing under three-
point bending test will be carried out to the retrofitted specimen.
Students must read any related journal papers before carry out the repair
work on the specimen.
Way and mean: Students are required to carry out the compressive
strength on control specimens and composite specimens. Comparison
between these specimens is to be recorded and discussed.
