DESIGN AND RETROFIT OF CONCRETE FOOTING FOUNDATION SYSTEMS USING SHORT AND CONTINUOUS FIBERS
In the present paper a footing system for upward extension of low rise of wooden housing is proposed and verified by a series of mechanical tests. The method uses a slab footing constructed in high flow concrete with vinylon fiber and a retrofit of a carbon fiber reinforced plastic rod in the footing beam. The footing slab is connected to the footing beam using a post-construction anchorage. Design formulae for the design of the footing system are proposed in terms of permissible stresses and resistance in shear and flexure. These are based on the associated test results. It is further found that the construction performance of the footing slab is remarkably enhanced by using high flow concrete reinforced by vinylon fiber. The footing system is also applicable to new construction of low rise of buildings.
