The rehabilitation and strengthening of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures have become essential due to aging, increased service loads, deterioration, and environmental effects. This study investigates the structural behavior of RC beams strengthened using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets and Ste...
Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are increasingly adopted in structural rehabilitation due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation, making them suitable for extending the service life of reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructure. Studies on shear strengthening with CFRP was...
Prestressed concrete (PSC) beams are widely used in construction worldwide, especially for bridges due to their high strength, durability, and efficient load-carrying capacity. However, over time, these structures face deterioration from various factors, such as material aging, fatigue, environmental factors, and incre...
Reinforced concrete (RC) structures are extensively utilized in the construction industry due to their numerous advantages. However, these structures can deteriorate over time. To address the need for strengthening and rehabilitating existing RC structures, the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials has become...
: Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) has gained extensive attention for its superior crack resistance, toughness, and post-cracking residual capacity. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of SFRC research covering mechanical properties, fiber–matrix interface bond, durability, structural member behavior,...
The corrosion of conventional steel reinforcement remains a major durability concern in reinforced concrete members exposed to chlorides, carbonation, moisture and industrial chemicals, because progressive section loss and bond deterioration can reduce stiffness, serviceability and structural reliability. Carbon fibe...
