CFRP Laminates, Strengthening of Beams, StrainsAbstract
Results of an experimental program, published by the author on reinforced concrete beams strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer CFRP laminates, were analyzed in this work in terms of the strain development in tensile steel bars and CFRP laminates until extreme loading that causes failure. The outcome of this work may help in investigating the ductility of such beams. It may be concluded that although strengthening with CFRP enhances the carrying capacity of beams, they require special consideration for ductility.
