Beam Strengthening Analysis Using External Post-Tensioning Systems

Beam Strengthening Analysis Using External Post-Tensioning Systems

The strengthening of concrete structures insitu with externally bonded fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composite sheets is increasingly being used for repair and rehabilitation of existing structures. 

This sheet provides information in the area of long-term durability of concrete beams externally bonded with FRP sheets. It was intended to study the effect of harsh environmental conditions such as wet/dry cycling using salt water on the performance of FRP-bonded concrete beams and on the interfacial bond between the fiber and the concrete. Concrete beams were strengthened with four different types of FRP sheet: two carbon and two glass.
