Evaluation of the contribution of flexural CFRP plates in shear strengthening RC beams
Saqan, Elias I.; Nawaz, Waleed; Hawileh, Rami; Abdalla, Jamal (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 ... -
Experimental and Analytical Investigations of the Use of Groove-Epoxy Anchorage System for Shear Strengthening of RC Beams Using CFRP Laminates
Mohamed, Khalid Mustafa Elradi; Abdalla, Jamal (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 ... -
