Repair and strengthening of concrete structures have become more important with the aging
of existing infrastructure and the rising reconstruction costs. One of the popular and …

Corrosion is one of the most critical problems that impair the durability of RC structures. Both
carbonation-induced and chloride-induced corrosion widely prevail in civil infrastructure …

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been widely used for retrofitting concrete
structures. Furthermore, increasing numbers of researchers are concerned about the use of …

The scope of the present work is to investigate the possible effects of manufacturing and in-
service induced reduction of bonding quality on the mechanical performance of composite …

Abstract Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites have been the source of an increasing
interest in the field of rehabilitation, namely for repair and strengthening of reinforced …

Carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRPs) have been widely used in the last few decades.
The bond between steel members and CFRP is the main issue in rehabilitation …

Organic coatings have been widely used to protect concrete structures from the aggressive
environment and improve their reliability. However, there is a lack of clear understanding on …

Durability of FRP composites and their bond to concrete is essential to structural integrity of
an FRP repair. Epoxy adhesives are used to form FRP composites, and as a bonding …

The prediction of long-term performance is a crucial step in the effective structural design of
adhesively bonded connections. A lack of knowledge on the durability of the FRP-to …

Strengthening by fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) is one of the most common solutions to
the ageing infrastructures. However, long-term durability of such systems under different …
