Linear creep of bonded FRP-strengthened metallic structures at warm service temperatures

Modeling of FRP-Strengthened Infill Masonry Structures

This paper presents an analytical approach to describe the behavior and mode of failure of infill masonry structures strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials. The approach is used to simulate the response of strengthened infill masonry walls under the effect of out-of-plane uniformly distributed pressure simulating wind pressure. The approach includes a finite element analysis...

Evaluating the Fire Performance of FRP-strengthened Concrete Structures

Effect of Adhesive Viscoelasticity on the Creep Behaviour of FRP Strengthened Concrete Beams

This paper focuses on the effect of the viscoelasticity of the adhesive layer on the flexural creep response of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with composite materials. A theoretical model is developed, which considers the strengthened beam as a layered structure that consists of the reinforced concrete beam, the adhesive layer, and the FRP strip, and accounts for the creep of each comp...

Numerical Simulation of Debonding Failure of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with Externally Bonded Frp

As the life age of the existing structures are required to meet the changing demands on civil infrastructures. So strengthening and retrofitting are required. Recently many techniques to strengthen the reinforced concrete beams in flexural by using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) had appeared. The most famous technique among them is strengthening the (RC) beams with externally bonded FRP sheet t...

Debonding Failures of Rc Beams Strengthened with Externally Bonded Frp Reinforcement: Behaviour and Modelling

Both the flexural and shear strengths of reinforced concrete (RC) beams can be substantially enhanced using externally bonded fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Failures of such FRP-strengthened RC beams often occur by debonding of the FRP plate from the RC beam in a number of forms. Despite numerous theoretical and experimental studies on debonding failures of FRP-strengthened RC beams...
