External strengthening of shear deficient reinforced concrete beams with flexural CFRP laminates
(International Workshop on Performance, Protection & Strengthening of Structures under Extreme Loading (PROTECT 2015), 2015-06)
This paper presents an experimental investigation of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in shear with externally bonded flexural carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets attached to the soffit of the beam via ...
Evaluation of the contribution of flexural CFRP plates in shear strengthening RC beams
(Conference on Smart Monitoring, Assessment and Rehabilitation of Civil Structures, 2015)
Strengthening of RC beams for shear has been typically done by externally attaching strips of steel plates or carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets or plates on the sides of the beams. However, sides of beams ...
Strengthening of thin reinforced concrete slabs with CFRP laminates
(International Conference on Advanced Composite Materials in Bridges and Structures, 2016)
Over the years, engineers and researchers have been working continuously to reduce the dead loads on buildings by reducing the sizes of structural elements. Slabs add significant dead load to buildings compared to other ...
Mechanical Properties of Strengthening 5083-H111 Aluminum Alloy Plates at Elevated Temperatures
(MDPI, 2021)
The use of aluminum alloys for external strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams has been capturing research interest. Exposure to harsh environmental conditions can severely impact the strengthening efficiency. ...
Modeling Strategies of Finite Element Simulation of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with FRP: A Review
(MDPI, 2021)
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites do not only possess superior mechanical properties, but can also be easy to tailor, install, and maintain. As such, FRPs offer novel and attractive solutions to facilitate strengthening ...
Experimental and Analytical Investigations of the Use of Groove-Epoxy Anchorage System for Shear Strengthening of RC Beams Using CFRP Laminates
(MDPI, 2020)
Reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in shear with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates as externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) usually fail due to debonding. This paper presents an experimental and ...
