This paper provides an experimental analysis of timber-framed walls, coated with carbon fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRP) strengthened fibre-plaster boards. The presented wall elements are usually used as main bearing capacity elements in the construction of prefabricated multi-level timber residential buildings. Since the tensile strength of fibre-plaster sheathing boards (FPB) is approximately...

The present study makes a consistent attempt to evaluate promising additive manufacturing (AM) processes and materials for marine structural applications, paving the way development of additively manufactured light-weight composites. main objective is analyse performances fibre-reinforced plastics (FRP) produced by AM applications. In particular, tensile response chopped continuous carbon-fibre...

The technique of strengthening steel structures with Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) has attracted growing attention in research field and in practice and its environmental durability is of high importance. This paper describes an investigation on the bond characteristics between high modulus CFRP sheet and steel plates under elevated temperature exposures. Tensile tests were carried out...
