Journal ArticleDOI
Flexural response of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with near surface mounted (NSM) fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) bars
TL;DR: In this paper, the behaviour of RC beams strengthened with NSM FRP bars was experimentally investigated and the effects of material type, epoxy properties, bar size and the number of NSM bars were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental study of the flexural behaviour of GFRP RC beams and comparison with prediction models
TL;DR: The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars in reinforced concrete (RC) structures has emerged as an alternative to traditional RC due to the corrosion of steel in aggressive environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental study of different factors affecting the bond of NSM FRP bars in concrete
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of adhesive properties, bar type, bar size, FRP properties, groove geometry and the use of mechanical interlocking on the capacity and bond behavior of a near surface mounted (NSM) fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement has been investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental and analytical investigation into the flexural performance of RC beams with partially and fully bonded NSM FRP bars/strips
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of transverse wrapping and end anchorage on the behavior and load capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with partially and fully bonded near surface mounted (NSM) reinforcement and one unstrengthened beam (CB) were prepared and tested in order to study the effect on flexural performance.
