Abstract

Sustainable construction becomes a highly key topic in the construction sector owing to its benefits and advantages over economy, environment, and society. This study considers one such application of sustainable construction, rehabilitation of RC beams. Through such rehabilitation, it is possible to extend the life of existing concrete structures. A numerical analysis approach has been framed to study to this phenomenon. Total 10 criteria have been selected to evaluate the rehabilitation material alternatives on RC beams with ultra-high-performance concrete. 9 Alternative materials have been considered for rehabilitation of RC beams. DEMATEL-ANP and PROMETHEE has been used as a methodology in two phases, the first phase used DEMATEL-ANP to analyze the considered criteria and the second phase used PROMETHEE to evaluate the considered alternative materials based on the analyzed criteria. Finally, this study concludes with the effective rehabilitation material for RC beams with ultra-high-performance-concrete. The considered numerical framework can be adopted in various forms of similar or different applications.
