FRP Strengthening of RC Structures: Sustainable, Environmental and Structural Evaluations

Strengthening and rehabilitation have been widely implemented for many years to extend the service life of reinforced concrete structures. The paper begins with a comprehensive review fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) utilization on strengthening particularly over traditional materials formerly used in practice respect materials, manufacturing, operation, construction, maintenance phases, as well engineering environmental performance such materials. Carbon Glass FRP, most frequently are designated study employed conduct an evaluation using previously published data literature. then investigates punching shear strength flat slab-column connections strengthened externally bonded FRP by means nominated database comprising 57 number points harvested from recent is test TS 500 code equations modification Chen Li. enabled key factors affecting be emphasized highlighted fact that fall conservative predicting strengthed FRP. novel it provides material regards sustainability also insight into structural implications this evaluating current provisions modifications.
