The strengthening technique based on prestressed near-surface mounted (NSM) strips
made of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) is well known as an effective means to restore or …

In this study, the gradually anchored technique is combined with the prestressed near-
surface-mounted (NSM) carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strengthening technique to …

Organic adhesives (eg epoxy resin) have been widely used in the near-surface-mounted
(NSM) fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening system for reinforced concrete (RC) …

Method of externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) is one of the most prominent systems for
retrofitting reinforced concrete (RC) beams containing fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) …

The primary objective of this paper is to study the effectiveness of anchorage on the
performance of shear deficient beams externally strengthened with CFRP composites. The …

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures necessitate strengthening for various reasons. These
include ageing, deterioration of materials due to environmental effects, trivial initial design …

Reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructure is an essential part of modern civilization. However,
the serviceability of RC infrastructure in extreme weather has become challenging due to the …

Compared with conventional strengthening methods, the near-surface mounted (NSM)
technique is more suitable for strengthening steel–concrete composite beams, especially at …

Abstract The introduction of Basalt Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) materials marks a
significant step forward in sustainable construction practices. This study investigates the use …

In most cases, openings are made in the Web of deep beams for installations to pass
through. These members require to be strengthened since the openings reduce load …
