Numerical Analysis of the Flexural Response of CFRP-Strengthened RC Beams Subjected to Low-Velocity Impact

Abstract

Abstract A fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheet bonding method for the flexural strengthening of existing RC members under impact loading has not yet been established because the strengthening effects of the sheet and the impact resistance behavior of ... Practical Applications RC infrastructures may be subjected to impact loads due to subversive activities by terrorists, serious natural disasters, debris flows and rockfalls associated with climate change, and collisions of vehicles and ships with bridge ...
