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

Capacity Assessment of Gld Rc Frames Strengthened with Frp

Many gravity load designed (GLD) reinforced concrete (RC) frames are nowadays located in seismic areas. Different strengthening methodologies have been proposed in the past; an innovative technique based on the use of composites was proposed and validated by an experimental program developed at University of Missouri-Rolla. A theoretical approach for the assessment of the subassemblage capacity...

An Integrated Frp Strengthening and Damping System for Multiple Performance Level Seismic Retrofit of Rc Columns

The concept of an integrated strengthening and damping retrofit system was proposed to design reinforced concrete (RC) columns for their optimal performance under multi-level earthquake hazards. As illustrated in Figure 1, the system consisted of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets wrapping around a column and viscoelastic (VE) layers on the FRP sheets. The motion of the outer surface of the ...

Near-surface Mounted Frp Rods for Masonry Strengthening: Bond and Flexural Testing

In unreinforced masonry walls, failure due to out -of-plane bending causes the majority of the material damages and loss of human life. Therefore, the development of effective strengthening techniques needs to be addressed. Near-surface mounted (NSM) FRP rods are now emerging as a promising technique for increasing flexural and shear strength of structural members. The aim of this research prog...
