Study on Behavior of Externally Bonded RC Beams Using Different FRP Composites
ByMahendra DeshmukhMukund Pawar
Strengthening structures via external bonding of advanced fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composite is becoming very popular worldwide during the past decade because it provides a more economical and technically superior alternative to the traditional techniques in many situations as it offers high strength, low weight, corrosion resistance, high fatigue resistance, easy and rapid installation and minimal change in structural geometry. Conventional strengthening method such as external post tensioning, member enlargement along with internal transverse steel, and bonded steel plates are very costly, requiring extensive equipment, time, and significant labour. FRP repair systems provide an economically viable alternative to traditional repair systems and materials. Although many in-situ RC beams are continuous in construction, there has been very limited research work in the area of FRP strengthening of beams.
