The objective of the present study is to determine the effect of wrapping on beams using geo-textiles and to compare the results of control beam with analytical model done by using FEM software ANSYS 16. A total 12 beams, with (150mm ×260mm) rectangular cross section and of span 1200 mm were casted and tested. Beams are wrapped in two ways:-1) at the bottom and 2) in U-shape up to neutral axis and flexural strength of...
