Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer composite (FRPC) wrap has been established as an effective method for rehabilitation and strengthening of concrete structures. This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the ...

Abstract: The performance of an inorganic matrix is compared to the performance of an organic matrix when used to externally strengthen reinforced concrete beams with carbon fiber sheets. The experimental study consisted of testing ...

Abstract: Results of an experimental investigation on the behavior of corbels made with high‐strength concrete in excess of 40 MPa are presented. A total of 16 life‐size corbels were tested, two of which were unreinforced. The primary ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to study the fatigue performance of concrete beams strengthened with carbon fiber sheets bonded by an inorganic matrix. Large size reinforced concrete (RC) beams were strengthened with three ...
