Flexural strengthening

This article presents the results of an experimental study on the flexural behavior of 4 specimens: 1 specimen of reinforced concrete (RC), 1 specimen strengthened with FRP sheets, and 02 specimens with the same height as the RC specimen but with a replacement of 3 cm of the protective concrete layer with a UHPC layer, either bonded or not bonded to the existing concrete, with or without the reinforcement of FRP sheets.

In this paper, two beam specimens have been studied to investigate the flexural performance of RC beams strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets and the interfacial behavior between CFRP and concrete.

This paper addresses the strength and deformation capacity of slender columns retrofitted by externally bonded Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) subjected to seismic loading. The behaviour of RC columns depending on the CFRP confinement (carbon CFRP jacket) and on flexural reinforcement (carbon plates) was analysed by a nonlinear finite element method based on multilayer shell element and multifiber beams with plasticity and damage models.

This paper presents a developed three-dimensional (3D) finite element model (FEM) of flexural and shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) T-beams using a CFRP (Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer) system combined by near-surface mounted (NSM) strips and U-wraps subjected by asymmetric loading.

This paper presents an experimental study on the effect of prestressing force on the flexural behavior of unbonded prestressed concrete (UPC) strengthened by Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. The testing program was carried out on nine large-scale UPC rectangular beams.

In recent years, efforts have been made to produce advanced composite materials in order to lessen environmental impact and to extent sustainability. Traditional materials are largely substituted by composites due to their greater properties like flexural strength, low thermal expansion and high strength.
