Experimental Study of Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Externally Bonded GFRP Sheets

Article Preview

Abstract:

A test of bending resistance and reinforcement is carried out on RC beams by applying sheet of glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP). A study and analysis is given to the traits of bending and rupture of RC beams reinforced by applying GFRP and to the effect of GFRP on ultimate bearing capacity and stiffness of the beams. The strengthening effect is investigated to give guidance in practice work.
