Abstract: This paper critically assesses the applicability and reliability of existing analytical techniques to predict and/or prevent brittle plate debonding failure that occurs in reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with ...

Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical model, based on truss analogy, to analyze the structural behavior at failure of reinforced concrete beams with steel plates or fiber-reinforced polymer lamitates bonded to their tension ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the structural implications when a glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) plate is bonded externally to a reinforced concrete (RC) beam for flexural strengthening. Full-scale beams were tested in the ...

Abstract: This paper describes the resistance of mortar specimens with two different recycled fine aggregates when they were exposed to sodium and magnesium sulfate solutions up to
