Technical effectiveness analysis of reinforced concrete structures strengthened with FRP plates

Abstract

    Using FRP plates to cover the surface of reinforced concrete structures is one of the various strengthening methods, which can recorver and also make the load-bearing of structures stronger to adapt the new requirement of exploitation. To determine the technical effectiveness of this method, this paper introduces some important points of the method and also presents results of numerical as well as experimental analysises of reinforced concrete elements strengthed with FRP plates.
