Durability of CFRP strengthened RC beam after six years exposure to natural hygrothermal environment with sustained loads Ghent University
Exploring the durability of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) strengthened concrete structures is a significant focus in the field of civil engineering. The majority of the present durability studies, which investigate the combined effects of external and environmental loading on CFRP-strengthened concrete structures, are conducted in accelerated aging environments. Nevertheless, this method fails to accurately reflect the real service ...
