Advanced composite materials have excellent performance and broad engineering
application prospects, and have received widespread attention in recent years. Advanced …

Structural strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams is becoming essential to meet
the up-gradation of existing structures due to the infrastructure development. Strengthening …

Two unique approaches were proposed to strengthen the bond between the glass fiber
reinforcement polymer (GFRP) and the RC concrete surfaces. The two bonding materials …

The structure health monitoring of a concrete structure requires several sensors and
numerous non-destructive tests (NDT) to identify different kinds of damages and defects in …

The hybridisation of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs), particularly with the combination of
natural and synthetic fibres, is a prominent option for their development. In the context of the …

The current manuscript presents a probabilistic seismic assessment of non-ductile RC
structures retrofitted by pre-tensioned aramid fiber reinforced polymers (AFRP). Three RC …

Using prestressed carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates to strengthen reinforced
concrete (RC) members is of particular interest to maintain the safe operation of existing …

Carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates are widely used to strengthen reinforced-
concrete (RC) structures. At present, most studies focused on the short-term performance of …

This study examines an advanced material called High Strength Fiber Reinforced Polymer
Composite (HSFRPC). The flexural characteristics of RC beams with dimensions of 2000× …

The primary objective of this article is to focus on the experimental investigation of shear-
deficient and geosynthetic-strengthened reinforced concrete beams. In this study, two …
