Efficiency of CFRP NSM strips and EBR plates for flexural strengthening of RC beams and loading pattern influence
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of flexural tests on RC beams strengthened with both NSM and EBR techniques are discussed in order to show that debonding phenomena for NSM strip strengthened beams are less significant than for EBR plate beams.
