Increasing Remaining Fatigue Life of Steel Plates Using Bonded Ultrahigh-Modulus CFRP Plates: The Effect of Cyclic History and Bond Length

Abstract

Abstract Fatigue cracking in steel structures poses a significant threat to their long-term performance and reduces their fatigue life. This study examines the effect of a repair intervention using ultrahigh-modulus carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) ...
