Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites continue to provide designers with the ability to
deliver innovative and intelligent solutions to overcome the ever-growing aging issues in …

Existing deteriorated reinforced concrete (RC) structures need strengthening to extend
service life. Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) has been widely used to strengthen sound …

This paper examines analytically the design criteria for the composite retrofit of reinforced
concrete (RC) columns with a short lap splice length of steel rebars inside the critical region …

Mechanical performance of concrete strengthened by modified epoxy resin bonded CFRP
(carbon fiber reinforced polymer) is present in this paper, with particular focus on the …

This investigation defines the problem and proposes guidelines for seismically upgrading
masonry buildings using textile-reinforced mortar (TRM). The TRM technique in the form of …

In the last 20 years, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) have become a common
alternative to strengthening and retrofitting. The performance of the strengthened specimens …

Among the strengthening and repairing techniques, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems
have become increasingly common in recent decades to retrofit existing reinforced concrete …

A nonlinear finite element (NLFE) model is proposed to predict the bond behavior between
concrete and near-surface mounted (NSM) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP). The model is …

Purpose Embedding carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) bars in the tension zone of
reinforced concrete (RC) beams is a widely used reinforcement method, which has the …

This experimental study aims to investigate the effects of the strengthening arrangement on
the behavior and the performance of strengthened beams, according to the Near-Surface …
