Lateral strength and ductility of reinforced concrete columns strengthened with NSM FRP rebars and FRP jacket
Published in International Journal of Advanced Structural Engineering
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping of reinforced concrete (RC) columns is an effective way to improve their shear capacity and ductility and prevent buckling in their longitudinal reinforcements. Another strengthening method called the near surface mounted (NSM) reinforcement has been proven effective in improving the flexural strength of RC c...
