TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental and an analytical investigation of the behavior of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams strengthened in flexure by means of different combinations of externally bonded hybrid Glass and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP/CFRP) sheets is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review on historic and recent developments of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in strengthening and rehabilitation of civil engineering applications, highlighting some of the classic and modern experimental, numerical and analytical studies associated with the integration of FRP into buildings, among other structures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the variation of mechanical properties in terms of the elastic modulus and tensile strength of composite carbon (C), composite glass (G) sheets and their hybrid combinations (CG) when exposed to different temperatures, ranging from 25°C to 300°C.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed finite element model of a reinforced concrete T-beam strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) was developed to investigate the fire performance of such reinforced concrete members and their resistance to heat transfer and to various environmental exposure factors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed 3D nonlinear finite element (FE) numerical model was developed to predict the load-carrying capacity and response of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) rods subjected to four-point bending loading.
