Abstract This study investigates the combined effects of shear strengthening and anchorage
provided by carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) U-wraps in reinforced concrete
beams strengthened in flexure using externally bonded CFRP sheets. Eighteen large-... Practical Applications The growing demand for cost-effective solutions to extend the design life of aging
concrete infrastructure has made externally bonded carbon fiber–reinforced polymer
(CFRP) systems an attractive option for structural strengthening ...
