Various Frp Strengthening Techniques for Retrofitting Concrete Structures
The need for repair and strengthening of deteriorated, damaged and substandard infrastructures has become an important challenge worldwide. The demand for increasingly heavier truck loads is forcing bridge owners to upgrade existing structures. In response to the growing need for concrete repair and rehabilitation, an experimental program was conducted to investigate the feasibility of using di...
متن کاملShear 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. Shear strengthening using Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets provides a low-cost solution by increasing the speed of construction and reducing traf...

متن کاملOptimization of Precast Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girder Systems
60 A practical approach to the optimal design of precast, prestressed concrete highway bridge girder systems is presented. The approach aims at standardizing the optimal design of bridge systems, as opposed to standardizing girder sections. Structural system optimization is shown to be more relevant than conventional girder optimization for an arbitrarily chosen structural system. Bridge system...
متن کاملCost -effectiveness of Various Frp Repair Techniques for Rc Structures
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...
