RC Beams Strengthened with Mechanically Fastened Composites: Experimental Results and Numerical Modeling

The use of mechanically-fastened fiber-reinforced polymer (MF-FRP) systems has recently emerged as a competitive solution for the flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams and slabs. An overview of the experimental research has proven the effectiveness and the potentiality of the MF-F...
