Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been widely used to retrofit RC structures,
such as with externally bonded FRP laminates (EB), externally bonded reinforcement on …

Concrete is the most widely used building material in civil infrastructure, and strength is the
most effective evaluation index to measure its quality. Sub-standard raw materials, flawed …

This work was designed to evaluate the performance of adhesive layers between substrate
concrete and freshly overlaid concrete, under the action of tensile and shear stresses. Four …

The uneven distribution of fibres in concrete is a key factor that affects the mechanical
properties of the components/structures. Many approaches have been developed to detect …

Debonding in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP)-strengthened RC structures might
always carry the risk of structural collapse. Several studies have focused on the debonding …

The paper concerns assessing the quality of the adhesive connection between a steel plate
and the reinforcing CFRP laminate. A three-stage algorithm for non-destructive damage …

The excellent performance of the CFRP-concrete bonding interface is a key to ensure the
reliability and effectiveness of the rehabilitation in concrete structures with external fiber …

Purpose This research paper adopts the fundamental tenets of advanced technologies in
industry 4.0 to monitor the structural health of concrete beam members using cost-effective …

The cracking pattern and spacing are essential for the structural durability of RC structures
strengthened by prestressed CFRP plates. In this study, the effects of prestressing levels and …

The application of reinforced concrete (RC) beam with near-surface mounted (NSM) pre-
stressed carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates has been increasingly widespread …
