Abstract: This paper presents a calculation procedure for externally unbonded carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips anchored at their ends in flexural strengthening of existing reinforced concrete structures. Due to strain ...

Abstract: This paper presents the principle and the application of an innovative anchorage technique for prestressed carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips in structural strengthening. Additionally, large-scale static loading ...

Abstract: This paper presents an investigation on the practicability and structural efficiency of prestressed carbon-fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips with a gradient anchorage in the framework of a bridge-strengthening application ...
