Abstract: Near-surface-mounted (NSM) carbon fiber–reinforced polymers (CFRPs) have emerged as a promising strengthening technique to improve the flexural performance of reinforced-concrete (RC) structures. Although these systems ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the performance of curved soffit reinforced concrete beams strengthened in flexure with carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) under static loading. The effect of concavity on the effectiveness ...

Abstract: This paper reports a comprehensive study on the behavior of concavely curved soffit reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in flexure with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites under static loading. The ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are widely used to enhance the flexural capacity of existing concrete structures subjected to various loading actions. However, when FRPs are applied to structural elements as externally ...

Abstract: Strengthening concrete bridges using fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) in flexure, shear, and torsion is limited by the occurrence of premature FRP debonding which often controls the degree of strengthening possible using ...
