Abstract: The flexural capacity of concrete beams can be efficiently and effectively improved through bonding fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) plates to the tensile side. Failure of the strengthened member often occurs through debonding ...

Abstract: For concrete beams and slabs, the bonding of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) plates to the bottom surface is an effective and efficient technique for flexural strengthening. Failure of strengthened members often occurs due ...
