Abstract: The behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthened reinforced concrete beams subjected to torsional loads has not been well understood compared to other loads. Interaction of different components of concrete, ...

Abstract: The use of fiber reinforced plastics (FRPs) for flexural and shear strengthening of reinforced concrete beams has been scrutinized to a considerable depth by researchers worldwide. The area of torsional strengthening however ...

Abstract: Despite experimental evidences, the contributions of the concrete slab and composite action to the vertical shear strength of simply supported steel–concrete composite beams are not considered in current design codes, which ...
