The current study presents the results of an experimental program on the application of
carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites to improve the lateral strength capacity …

This paper presents an experimental study on the strengthening of seismically deficient RC
beam-column joints using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). Six exterior RC beam …

External application of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) for the seismic retrofit/repair of
reinforced concrete (RC) beam–column joints has been extensively investigated in the last …

The fatigue life of steel bridges can be extended by externally bonding carbon fiber–
reinforced polymer (CFRP) patches to the damaged elements to arrest the crack …

Modeling, analysis and design of retrofitting interventions has been a topic of numerous
research projects that aim in providing answers to complex questions such as “which …

Flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) structures using fiber-reinforced polymer
(FRP) composites has gained ground as a technique preferred over its rival ones. However …

The epoxy-bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) technique has been attracting more
attention for repairing steel structures. In this paper, cracked steel plates repaired with FRP …

This paper reports on a numerical attempt toward developing a nonlinear finite element (FE)
modelling approach to predict the inelastic behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) beam …

Bonding a composite patch to a cracked steel section is an efficient technique to reinforce
cracked members or to delay fatigue crack growth in the structural elements. In this paper, a …

The seismic assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) structures before and after retrofitting is
a challenging task, mainly because existing numerical tools cannot accurately model the …
