Strengthening of Initially Loaded Reinforced Concrete Beams Using FRP Plates
TL;DR: In this paper, reinforced concrete (RC) beams are initially loaded to 85% of the ultimate flexural capacity and subsequently repaired with FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) plates, bonded to the soffit of the beam.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the effectiveness and efficiency of two different techniques for strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) beams using ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete was investigated, i.e., by sand blasting RC beams surfaces and casting UHPFRC in-situ around the beams inside a mold and by bonding prefabricated UHP FRC strips to the RC beams using epoxy adhesive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guidelines Toward the Design of Reinforced Concrete (RC) Beams with External Plates
Journal ArticleDOI
Flexural behavior of precracked reinforced concrete beams strengthened externally by steel plates
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present comprehensive data and their interpretation on the plate bonding repair technique in terms of effects of plate thickness and end anchorage on ductility, ultimate load, and mode of failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Repaired reinforced concrete beams
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between repair methods for reinforced concrete beams subjected to different levels of cracking was made experimentally, and four methods of repair were studied: epoxy injection, ferrocement, steel-plate bonding, and combined method of epoxy injections and ferroscement.
