Near-Surface Mounted Reinforcement of Sawn Timber Beams-FEM Approach. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2021 The demand for timber has increased significantly in recent years. Therefore, reliable tools are needed to predict the mechanical properties of sawn timber, especially for structural applications. Very complex models require a lot of input data for analysis, which cannot always be guaranteed, especially in industrial practice.

Torsional Strengthening of RC Beams with Near-Surface Mounted Steel Bars [PDF]
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2020 The strength of reinforced concrete members can be enhanced by using the externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) and near-surface mounted (NSM) methods. However, very few studies have adopted the NSM method for torsional strengthening.

Near Surface Mounted Composites for Flexural Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams. [PDF]
Polymers (Basel), 2016 Existing structural components require strengthening after a certain period of time due to increases in service loads, errors in design, mechanical damage, and the need to extend the service period. Externally-bonded reinforcement (EBR) and near-surface mounted (NSM) reinforcement are two preferred strengthening approach.

Seismic Assessment of RC Bridge Columns Retrofitted with Near-Surface Mounted Shape Memory Alloy Technique. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2020 From past earthquakes, it has been found that the large residual displacement of bridges after seismic events could be one of the major causes of instability and serviceability disruption of the bridge.
