In this comprehensive study, firstly, the theoretical model described in ACI 440 committee report to calculate the area of transverse U wraps provided for anchored CFRP-strengthened concrete beams was examined. Then, ...

Over the past decade, CFRP (Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer) has been established as an excellent strengthening material to use in the metallic structures. Performance of CFRP strengthened steel members is directly dependent ...

This paper is based on an experimental analysis carried out in order to identify the best method of installation of CFRP strips to enhance the flexural capacity of a reinforced concrete beam. Of the two me“ot installation; ...

The sand cement blocks are cement composites and have been widely used in many countries including Sri Lanka. Rice husk ash (RHA) is a waste material with pozzolanic properties. The use of RHA as a substitute of cement ...
