Abstract: The flexural behavior of fatigued reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened using prestressed near surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips was investigated. Five RC beams were tested; one beam ...

Abstract: The fatigue performance of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams strengthened using prestressed Near Surface Mounted (NSM) Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) strips was evaluated in this paper. Five full-scale RC beams were ...

Abstract: Circumferential wrapping of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets is one of the most common applications for repair and rehabilitation of large-scale columns. Common types of fibers used for wrapping are carbon FRP (CFRP), ...

Abstract: Using externally bonded (EB) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates for strengthening steel-concrete composite girders has recently received more attention from researchers. By prestressing the EB FRP laminates, the ...

Abstract: While the effectiveness of corrosion-inhibiting admixtures in new concrete has been well documented, there is little research on their surface-applied counterparts for existing structures. This study was undertaken to ...

Abstract: A technique for strengthening damaged concrete beams using prestressed carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets was developed at Queen’s University and the Royal Military College of Canada. As part of this study, an ...

Abstract: Deterioration of concrete structures caused by corrosion of reinforcing steel, aging, and weathering is a major problem in harsh environments such as coastal areas and cold regions. In addition, a hot environment, such as ...
