In the case of a change in structure function that may cause increasing loads, it is required to put efforts in strengthening the structure elements in order to increase the capacity and hence to avoid the possibility of collapsing. It is a fact that the strength and ductility of the concrete is highly dependent on the confinement level provided by the lateral reinforcement. In this work extra confinement is provided by using GI welded wire mesh which was wrapped inside and outside the periphery of reinforcement cage. A total of 22 beams were casted in which 12 beams are confined by double layer welded wire mesh and 4 beams were confined by triple layer of welded wire mesh internally and externally. These beams were tested for 2 point flexure test and load deflection curve were observed. Confining beams give better results.}, number={1}, journal={International Journal Of Innovation In Engineering Research & Management UGC APPROVED NO. 48708, EFI 5.89, WORLD SCINTIFIC IF 6.33}, author={Suman Poddar, Amit Richhariya}, year={1}, month={1}, pages={107-116} }
