Abstract: Many studies performed on reinforced concrete (RC) members strengthened in flexure with externally bonded (EB) fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) have indicated quite low strengthening efficiency caused by debonding of the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the test results of reinforced concrete slabs strengthened with prestressed and gradually anchored carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips under monotonic and cyclic loading. To take full advantage ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental results and a numerical analysis of the reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in flexure with various externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) configurations. The aim ...

Abstract: This paper presents an investigation on the practicability and structural efficiency of prestressed carbon-fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips with a gradient anchorage in the framework of a bridge-strengthening application ...
