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...

nowadays frp composite sheets for structural repair, as an efficient and cost-effective technique for restoring and upgrading the load bearing of concrete structures are have become very common. in addition to high strength to weight ratio and the use of frp sheets while structure is in use, these sheets have good fatigue resistance. furthermore, their easy application is also an undeniable adv...

A regulatory framework is required to ensure the correct design of Fibre-Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) increasingly being used as an externally-bonded strengthening system on concrete columns. Several guidelines confinement FRP have been developed over past few years worldwide, each proposing a different approach, resulting in predictions. This study aims evaluate and compare nine international pr...

Due to inadequacies of reinforcement design in older structures and changes building codes, but also the change use existing structures, reinforced concrete (RC) beams often require upgrading during renovation. The combined shear flexural strengthening with composite materials, fibre-reinforced polymer sheets (FRP) textile mortars (TRM), is assessed this study. An experimental campaign on twelv...
