Steel Reinforced Grout (SRG) systems consist of ultra-high tensile strength steel cords embedded in inorganic matrices and externally bonded to the substrate. These systems are currently receiving great attention and are rapidly developing as an effective tool for strengthening existing reinforced concrete and masonry structures. This talk will present the experimental investigation carried out for both, the mechanical characterization of tensile and bond properties, and the assessment of full-scale structural members reinforced with SRG, thus providing an overview of this exciting and very promising emerging technology.
