Experimental analysis improves load-carrying capacity of retrofitted structures, indicating promising retrofitting techniques.

Significant enhancements in structural performance were observed, with increases in load-carrying capacity between 2% and 32%.
Deflection improvements ranged from 4% to 22%, demonstrating the effectiveness of retrofitting methods on pre-cracked beams.
Finite-element analysis confirmed that double layers of GFRCM substantially enhance the capacity of retrofitted beams.
Experimental tests and simulations showed a strong correlation, validating the use of GFRCM in structural applications.

Kirthiga et al. (2025) studied this question.
