Abstract: In recent years, the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) has been shown to be a competitive method for strengthening both the structural and economic performance of concrete. The method has been used for almost ...

Abstract: The need for structural rehabilitation of concrete structures all over the world is well known, and a great amount of research is going on in this field. The use of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plate bonding has ...

Abstract: The need for structural rehabilitation of concrete structures all over the world is well known. Extensive amounts of research have been carried out and are ongoing in this field. Most of the laboratory research has been ...

Abstract: Rehabilitation and strengthening of concrete structures have become more common during the last

Abstract: The results obtained when performing a load test to failure of an existing structure are valuable when assessing calculation models, updating finite element models, and investigating the true structural behavior. In this ...

Abstract: In this paper the trustworthiness of the existing theory for predicting the fiber-reinforced plastic contribution to the shear resistance of reinforced concrete beams is discussed. The most well-known shear models for ...

Abstract: A finite element (FE) model was calibrated using the data obtained from a full-scale test to failure of a 50 year old reinforced concrete (RC) railway bridge. The model was then used to assess the effectiveness of various ...
