Investigation of the flexural properties of reinforced concrete beams strengthened by externally bonded steel plates. [PDF]
It is sometimes necessary to strengthen in situ concrete structures. Externally bonded plate reinforcement has been successfully applied to structures with subsequent satisfactory performance.

Punching shear strength of steel fibre reinforced lightweight concrete slabs. [PDF]
One of the problems in slab-column connections is the punching shear failure at over loads. Such failures are sudden and catastrophic, and are undesirable since they do not allow an overall yield mechanism to ...

Pre-Cracked Concrete Shear Strengthened with External CFRP Strips [PDF]
In reinforced concrete design, there are situations where transfer of shear across a specific plane needs to be considered. Examples of such situation include corbels, bearing shoes, ledger beam bearing, and a host of connection between precast concrete ...

Short-Term Efficiency of Using Sustainable BFRP Bars in Post-Tensioning Systems for One-Way RC Slab [PDF]
Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) bars are manufactured from sustainable natural materials. BFRP Young’s modulus constitutes weak performance to the serviceability limits in the structural reinforced concrete (RC) elements, but using post-tensioning

Calculation Method Analysis for Structure Strengthening with External Reinforcement
Abstract This article describes the main provisions of the calculating method for the gain of reinforced concrete structures by the system of external reinforcement. As an example, the calculation of monolithic reinforced concrete slab with carbon fiber material using the SCAD Office software package was considered and analyzed, which ...
