Strengthening of Impacted Prestressed Concrete Bridge I-Girder Using Prestressed Near Surface Mounted C-FRP Bars

De Lorenzis, and A. Nanni, “Bond Between Near Surface Mounted FRP Rods and Concrete in Structural Strengthening,” ACI Structures

The use of Near Surface Mounted (NSM) Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) rods is a promising technology for increasing flexural and shear strength of deficient reinforced concrete (RC) members. As this technology emerges, the structural behavior of RC elements strengthened with NSM FRP rods needs to be fully characterized, and bond is the first issue to be addressed. Bond is of primary importance s...

FRP Shear Reinforcement for Concrete Structures

Frp for Retrofitting and Strengthening of Concrete Structures

The use of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) for retrofitting and strengthening concrete structures provides an attractive and economical solution to increasing their strength and ductility. This paper reviews some of the Canadian projects which have been completed using this material. The selected projects are sponsored by the Canadian Network of Centres of Excellence on Intelligent Sensing for I...
