Shear strengthening of RC beams using carbon fiber reinforced polymer laminates
… service load, and construction defects. Externally bonded reinforcement such as Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) provides an excellent solution in these situations. In order to investigate the shear behavior of RC beams with externally bonded CFRP shear reinforcement, experimental …

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Repairs of Impact-Damaged Prestressed I-Girders
Three different Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) repair techniques are examined to determine how effectively each method can restore the ultimate flexural capacity of impact-damaged prestressed concrete girders. The number of severed prestressing strands and the amount of CFRP repair material …

The fatigue performance assessment of corrosion damaged RC beams, patch repaired and externally strengthened using CFRP
… performance of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) which were externally bonded onto concrete beams as a repair and strengthening technique for internally corrosion damaged RC beams. It was identified that more research concerning the fatigue performance of externally bonded CFRP laminates …

Epoxy-clay nanocomposite for carbon fiber reinforced polymer applications
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites have been utilized in rehabilitation and strengthening of civil infrastructure, and fabrication of aerospace, automotive and marine structural components. This is attributed to the high strength-to-weight ratio and durability of CFRP. However, for …

Shear strengthening of reinforced concrete beams with bi-directional carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips and CFRP anchors
The use of externally bounded Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) for strengthening existing RC structures has shown promising results. Although CFRP materials have high tensile strength, the ability to utilize that strength is limited by debonding of the CFRP laminates from the concrete …

Repair of damaged end regions of prestressed concrete girders using fiber reinforced polymer composite materials
… using many techniques, but primarily as either externally bonded laminates or near-surface mounted (NSM) bars or plates. These repair methods have been shown to be effective when used to provide supplemental flexural and shear reinforcement for reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete beams. …

Strengthening Damaged Reinforced Concrete Beams and Slender Columns Using Ultra-High Modulus CFRP Plates
… modulus carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates to strengthen damaged reinforced concrete beams and slender columns. In the first phase, two different pre-repair loading histories were simulated in seven 3000x300x150 mm reinforced concrete beams, namely cracking within the elastic …

The performance assessment of patch repaired and CFRP strengthened RC T-beams under transverse impact loading
… and the use of carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) has become an established alternative to traditional strengthening materials. However, rehabilitated bridge beams may still be susceptible to the same adverse loading conditions. The focus of the dissertation was to provide an in depth …
