Shear strengthening of a concrete trough bridge using embedded through‐section (ETS) FRP bars

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

Shear Strengthening Using Frp Sheets for a Idghw a Y Bridge in Manitoba, Canada

The use of heavier trucks demanded upgrading of a twenty-seven year old bridge in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Analysis of the precast prestressed concrete girders using the current AASHTO Code indicates a deficiency in the shear capacity. Shear strengthening using Carbon Fibre R_einforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets provides a low-cost solution by increasing the speed of construction and reducing tra...

Strengthening of Bridge Slabs with Frp Systems

Advances in the fields of polymers and composites have resulted in a major development of high strength fibre reinforced polymers (FRP). These materials offer great potential for cost-effective retrofitting of concrete structures. In response to the growing need for concrete repair and rehabilitation, an experimental program was conducted at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Can...

Shear Strengthening Using Cfrp Sheets for a Prestressed Concrete Highway Bridge in Manitoba, Canada

The use of heavier trucks demanded upgrading of a twenty-seven year old bridge in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Analysis of the precast prestressed concrete girders using the current AASHTO Code indicates a deficiency in the shear capacity.

Strengthening Choices for the Repair & Retrofit of Concrete Bridge Structures with Frp

At present there exist numerous, approved documents and guidelines across Europe, the US, Japan and Canada, giving detailed information on the various applications available that provide for the strengthening of concrete structures with Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP). Such guidelines offer a detailed overview of the principles involved in the design of strengthening for deficient beams, column...
