Flexural Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams by FRP Composites to Reduce Creep Deflection
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kazemi, Mohammad Taqhi (Supervisor)
Abstract
The strengthening of reinforced concrete structures with externally bonded fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates has shown excellent performance, so this technology is rapidly replacing externally bonded steel plates, steel or concrete jackets, and many traditional techniques available. In this study strengthening of reinforced concrete beams by GFRP to reduce creep deflection is investigated by mathematical method using available relations. Five RC beams with different dimensions, with and without strengthening with GFRP laminate, were investigated for their creep deflection. The creep coefficient of beams selected from experimental result that were mentioned in RILEM DATA BANK. In this...
