External strengthening of continous RC beams with CFRP Universiteit Gent
The structural behaviour of reinforced beams strengthened in flexure with externally bonded FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymer) reinforcement has been extensively investigated with respect to isostatic beams. Design methods are given in guidelines and standards, and failure modes are described. However, limited information is available on the behaviour of continuous beams, strengthened with composite reinforcement. For flexural strengthening of a ...
