This paper presents an experimental study to strengthen the shear capacity of non-seismic joints using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) materials. Eight exterior RC beam-column joint specimens including a non-seismic specimen, a seismic specimen and six retrofitted specimens with different con

External bonding of fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) strips to reinforced concrete (RC) beams has been widely accepted as an effective method for strengthening. The ultimate flexural strength of strengthened RC beams can be improved significantly, but it is often impaired by premature failure modes, s
This paper presents a rational model to predict the ultimate load capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened by a combination of longitudinal and transverse fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite plates/sheets (flexure and shear strengthening system). The model is based on the truss a
Experiments of four reinforced concrete (RC) two-span T-beams were introduced. During the experiment, one T-beam was normal temperature control T-beam, and the other three T-beams were heated 75 minutes under ISO-834 standard fire (ISO 834, 1975). Among these three T-beams, One T-beam was unstrength
