This paper presents an experimental study for the structural performance of reinforced concrete (RC) exterior beam-column joints rehabilitated using carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). The present experimental program consists of testing 10 half-scale specimens divided into three groups covering three possible defects in addition to an adequate...
This paper discusses the results of an experimental program designed to investigate the effect of repairing the RC corroded shear-critical deep beams with near surface mounted (NSM) carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods. A 28-year-old RC beam corroded by exposure to a chloride environment was cut into two small short-shear-span beams, along w...

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...

The cracking of concrete plays a vital important role for the serviceability and durability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in terms of the structural behavior. To investigate the crack behavior of concrete structure with additional strengthening, monotonic four-point bending test was carried out for RC beams which strengthened with near sur...
