Tradicionally the strengthening of reinforced concrete columns uses materials well known, such as steel plates, the reinforced concrete, and, more recently, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP). But there are still some problems associated with these materials, or more specifically, with the used techniques, specially the difficulty of implementation, brittle behavior and loss free space due to the increase of the original cross section of the column. On the other hand, the materials technology development and the constant innovation has resulted in the provision of a wide variety of materials with specifics caracteristics to solving a particular problem. For example, steel fiber reinforced concrete, originally developed for use in elements subject to bending, but it has some attributes, which if are well explored, are desirable for use in strengthening columns. This work presents the development of strategies and techniques that optimize the o use all the attributes offered by the commonly used materials, and develop a different lengths steel fiber reinforced concrete to enable its application on columns strengthening. The results of experimental analysis show that the choice of material, strategy and technique of strengtheningt is a key factor to combine the best use of the materials used and the design requirements. It is also concluded that the combination of steel fibers of different lengths allows the use of steel fibers reinforced concrete on the strengthening of concrete columns, with the great virtue of the ease of implementation, compared to the reinforced concrete.
