Three different carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) systems were used to reinforce new or strengthen existing concrete slabs against punching. Untensioned CFRP plates or only very low prestressed CFRP straps could not prevent brittle punching failure. S ...
A new technique using prestressed carbon fiber laminates (CFRP – Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers) is being developed to repair fatigue cracks or prevent fatigue cracking on riveted bridge members. High fatigue resistance and high tensile strength of carbo ...
This study presents a design criterion developed for fatigue strengthening of a 120-year-old metallic railway bridge in Switzerland and presents a pre-stressed un-bonded reinforcement (PUR) system developed to apply the strengthening. The PUR system uses c ...
Pre-stress bonded composite patch is a promising technique to reinforce steel member damaged by fatigue. ifhe effectiveness of this technique was verified by fatigue tests on notched steel plates. Results showed that the application of carbon fibre reinfor ...
Ultra-High Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) can be considered, due to its high strength and improved durability, as one of the leading recent innovations in civil engineering. Material scientists have developed a very efficient, high-tech mat ...
Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) combined with steel rebars, subsequently called R-UHPFRC, is a promising building material implying a novel technology for the improvement of concrete structures. Steel rebars enhance effectively th ...
