Enhancing flexural strength of reinforced concrete beams using carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP)
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
Structural repair and rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures is becoming an increasing important option for all deteriorated/damaged structures to restore, enhance the load carrying capacity and increase the life span of the structure. Some of the main reasons of structural strengthening are increase in dead and live load material aging and corrosion, mechanical damage, design and construction failures, modification of structure scheme and natural disaster due to earthquake and hurricanes. In that way, the present study aims at presenting the main properties of this new material as well as the design routines for flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete beams. Finally, a package-software developed into the MATLAB platform is presented, intending to generate a simple tool for the design using fiber reinforced polymers.
