As time goes up, structural capacity of members decreases in reinforced concrete structures. The deterioration of the capacity is mainly due to the corrosion of materials, poor construction and environmental pollution, etc. This deterioration is unavoidable, thus it is necessary to develop the method for repair and retrofit of structures in order to ensure structural safety of members.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the load-deflection, ultimate strength, failure mode, and energy absorption effect. For the test, the specimen size of column is 20cm×20cm×90cm reinforced with 4 number of main bars of 13mm diameter, tied bars of 6mm diameter. The test results show that the increasement of bolt and bolt tension's quantity improve the ultimate strength and energy absorption capacity.
