Abstract: High strength, low weight, corrosion resistance, and electromagnetic neutrality make fiber‐reinforced plastic (FRP) a suitable candidate in many structural applications, including rehabilitation and strengthening as well ...

Abstract: The short‐term mechanical behavior of a novel prestressing technique is described. The technique involves external bonding of pretensioned fiber‐reinforced plastic (FRP) composite sheets on the tension zones of structural ...

Abstract: The study presents the mechanics associated with the short-term behavior of glass-fiber reinforced-plastic (GFRP) box beams that include a layer of concrete and a carbon-fiber–reinforced-plastic laminate (CFRP) in the ...

Abstract: The time-dependent behavior of a new class of hybrid elements consisting of glass-fiber–reinforced-plastic (GFRP) box beams combined with a layer of concrete in the compression flange and a carbon-fiber–reinforced-plastic ...
