Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) has been used in the construction industry because of its advantages such as high strength, light weight, corrosion resistance, low density and elasticity. This paper presents a review bonding techniques adopted to strengthen timber beams using FRP achieve larger spans. Different methods between have summarized with focus on influencing factors their effects well ...

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence fiber reinforcement polymer (FRP) on shear behavior concrete (RC) beams with various guidelines. FRP thickness, beam depth and strength at ultimate load are considered as main parameters. A finite element (FE) by using ANSYS computer program was used analyze reinforced beams. numerical models were effect depth, strength, CFRP sheet configura...

The use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) for flexural strengthening concrete (RC) beams has become a popular technique. Significant amount work is available on the short-term behavior RC strengthened with near-surface mounted (NSM) However, their time-dependent behavior, specifically under high service temperature, not yet been addressed. This paper presents an experimental to evaluate NSM car...

Strengthening of masonry walls using Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP) sheets have shown to improve the lateral (in-plane and out-of-plane) resistance deformation characteristics. While improvements in shear flexural resistances FRP strengthened are well understood, their simultaneous influence on compression is not explored. Therefore, this study aimed understand contribution Carbon Polymer (CFR...

Strengthening of concrete structures is applied as a solution for various deterioration problems in civil engineering practice. This paper presents an analytical study the behaviour cross-section reinforced (RC) beam, strengthened flexure with fiber polymer (FRP) materials. Using balance internal forces cross section through all phases stress which passes, program was written MATLsoftware, exec...

Abstract Lightweight concrete (LWC) is one of the most important building materials nowadays. Many research studies were focused on LWC produced using lightweight aggregates. However, limited work was cited for polystyrene beads. In this study, beams strengthened with carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass (GFRP) experimentally tested to investigate improvement in their flexural shear...

concentric bracing is one of the most common lateral load resistant systems in building frames, and areapplied to many structures due to their manufacturing simplicity and economics. an important deficiency in thebracing members is their irregular hysteretic loops under cyclic loading. in order to overcome this problem, it isadvised to restrain braces against buckling under compression, since b...
