Abstract: A considerable amount of research has been directed recently toward understanding and promoting the use of externally applied fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) for the seismic retrofit of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. ...

Abstract: In recent years, numerous investigations have addressed the shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Despite this research effort, the mechanisms ...

Abstract: In reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in shear with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP), crushing of the web can be a potential mode of failure. The guidelines provided by codes and standards for the design of structures ...
