The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for strengthening, repairing, or
rehabilitating concrete structures has become more and more popular in the last 10 years …

With the assessment of intermediate crack debonding (ICD) being a subject of main
importance in the design of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in flexure with …

In this paper, a fiber beam model previously developed by the authors for the nonlinear
analysis of strengthened elements, including the effects of shear, is used to predict the …

Since the advent of the use of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) to strengthen reinforced
concrete (RC) and its employment in civil engineering in the early nineteen nineties, much of …

Intermediate crack (IC) debonding failure is one of the common bending failure forms of fiber-
reinforced polymer (FRP)-strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams. In this paper, a …

According to the available experimental work, the most common failure in existing structures
strengthened by plate bonding is the laminate peeling off. In the last few years, an important …

Despite the significant enhancement in service and ultimate conditions that can be achieved
by bonding a fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminate to a beam, the existing experimental …

To design efficient and economical strengthening solutions, the structural performance
before and after the intervention must be accurately evaluated. In the case of statically …

The shear failure of reinforced concrete beams needs more attention than the bending
failure since no or only small warning precedes the failure. For this reason, it is of utmost …

Most of the existing models to prevent debonding failure in beams externally strengthened
by fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates were developed focusing on the short term …
