Experimental and Theoretical Analysis of the Torsional Behavior of Flanged RC Members Strengthened with Bond-Critical FRP Systems

Abstract

Abstract This study aims to enhance the understanding of the torsional behavior of RC members strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets, a topic that remains underexplored. It advances the field through experimental tests and proposes a ... Practical Applications Structural members such as bridge girders, spandrel beams, and box girders are often subjected to significant torsion. In these members, torsion arises due to eccentric loads, curved geometries, or external forces such as wind, ...
