Abstract: The flexural strengthening of concrete structures by the near-surface-mounted (NSM) method has proven to be a reliable alternative to the existing externally bonded (EB) method using carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete beams tend to elongate after flexural cracking and yielding; however, the elongation is restrained by the surrounding structural components in a RC moment frame. Experiments were conducted on seven ...
