Abstract: This paper presents the fracture characteristics of cracked wide-flange steel girders (W18–W40, W460–W1000 in metric) strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. A broad range of parameters are considered ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental program to study the behavior of notched steel beams repaired with carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. Particular attention is paid to examining the interaction between the ...
