The use of FRP of increased thickness for strengthening structures

The external reinforcement system based on carbon fiber has been used for decades to strengthen reinforced concrete elements. At the same time, it is impossible not recognize that existing calculation methods are largely empirical dependencies obtained from experimental studies. One of these issues related application methodology materials heterogeneous origin-tapes and laminates. In general, possibility applying accepted in norms laminates generally thicknesses up 1.6 mm determined. question using greater thickness sufficiently studied. This article deals with normal cross sections bent elements a 5 mm.
