Reinforced concrete structures often suffer damage due to overloading, natural disaster, environmental impactetc. this cause damage and failure of the structural element. The failure of the authoritative structure element like columnmay lead to severe damage of frame structure as it transfer the load of the super structure to the foundation. To strengtheneddamaged column various materials like glass fiber, aramid fiber, ferrocement, steel plates etc. can be used. In this study,short RCC column specimen tested under different percentage of ultimate load (100%, 75% & 50%), then this preloadedcolumn specimen strengthened using ferrocement with different mesh pattern ( 0&45 degree) and different ferrocemntthickness (15 mm& 25 mm). Then this strengthened column specimen retested to find its ultimate load carrying capacity. Testresult shows the strengthening column using ferrocement increase its load carrying capacity.
