Using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in engineering infrastructures has
effectively resolved significant problems related to restoring existing and deteriorating …

One significant cause of deterioration of steel bridge structures is the corrosion due to
extensive use of deicing salts in winter weather. The investigation presented in this paper …

The application of the externally bonded (EB) carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP)
technique for retrofitting steel elements offers significant advantages over the conventional …

This paper presents the flexural behavior of rolled steel beams that were strengthened with
partial-length, adhesive-bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates. The hybrid …

This paper documents two projects funded through the Federal Highway Administration's
Innovative Bridge Research and Construction (IBRC) program. The IBRC program was …

Welding the reinforced component on the surface of a steel structure is a common method to
reinforce steel structures in practical engineering. Work efficiency is low in actual …

Many state, county, and local agencies have deteriorating short to medium span bridges.
These bridges are commonly single span or multiple span continuous structures, and are …

Many state, county, and local agencies are faced with an ever-deteriorating bridge
infrastructure composed in large part of relatively short to medium span bridges. In many …

The most influential technique in flexural strengthening of steel I-beams using carbon fiber
reinforced polymers (CFRP) plates is attaching the plate to the outer face of tension flange …
