Abstract: The paper is devoted to the cracking and deformability analysis of steel reinforced concrete beams strengthened with externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. A theoretical nonlinear model, derived ...

Abstract: This paper is devoted to the deformability investigation of concrete flexural members reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars. The analysis is carried out both theoretically, by means of a general procedure ...

Abstract: The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites has recently experienced a steep increase in civil engineering applications because of the high mechanical and low-density properties of such materials. Over the last ...

Abstract: The objective of the research was the evaluation of moisture effect on deformability of vinylester binder carbon-fiber- reinforced plastic (CFRP) rebars. Moisture sorption was investigated at different humid conditions. ...
